This isn’t anywhere near the only example of this happening. It’s just one of the few large examples where it’s possible to find enough evidence that people won’t just dismiss you as crazy.
I recall seeing most of this evidence before. It was dumbed on chan boards years ago. They even hacked the Wuhan lab, WHO, and Bill gates, and posted the files for everyone to see. I think some research data was included along with “evidence” of human engineering, but I would have to access illegal data and be competent enough to judge its validity in order to confirm that.
You don’t need something as complicated as manufactured concensus to expose popular wrong beliefs. There’s a large set of things that people feel strongly about, and they all have this thing in common where the average person is completely ignorant about them. In the past, this included sexuality, mental health, and drugs. I remember hearing that masturbation can make one blind. I remember the poor information of the DARE programs, and I remember growing up around people who were terrified of even discussing mental health.
Society likes to believe we’re clearsighted now, but we’re not much better. A common topic is IQ. It’s such a simple concept, almost a truism, and yet political enough that most scientists don’t want to touch it. You’re not allowed to acknowledge any other differences than income, and you’re supposed to say “Money → IQ” rather than “IQ → Money”. I shouldn’t get too deeply into CW topics. But these are the topics where stupidity is the most common, where rationality is almost sin. Logical thinking seems to shut down completely, even among scientists.
Just brand something “conspiracy” or “immoral”, and people become afraid of discussing it, leaving a few people in charge of deciding what’s “true”. Most people have heard that “normalizing” things is bad, that things act as “gateways” to other things, and that some things are “dogwhistles” for more extreme things. These arguments all became popular, despite the lack of evidence that any of said processes exist. The thought process here appears entirely fear-based. (avoiding CW out of good taste rather than cowardice is respectable)
People fall victim to the most basic errors. Thoughts of elites using advanced deception methods seems like wishful thinking, a kind of overconfidence in ones ability not to be deceived.
