It's not great to go about name-calling like a schoolchild if someone brings up misgivings about a topic you seem to have decided has no room for discussion.
I think that most people implicitly assume that their communications are private.
Mass surveillance is an open secret that is easier on the senses to ignore.
Ignorance can be combatted with information. But now there's a "war on information" with companies like facebook (in true comedic fashion) being the arbiter of "truth". Facebook, one of the biggest players in the mass surveillance game.
The business model is validated because of ignorance. Most people have no idea what pixel tags are, for instance, yet the web is oozing with them. When given the option, people prefer not to be surveilled. It is more or less inhuman to want to be watched surrepticiously. We call that stalking.
>I don't think anything about that is "deliberate propaganda".
Based on what? "Flat earth" is deliberate psy-op propaganda to discredit anyone talking about "conspiracies". You're concerned about the health effects of fluoride in the water supply? You're not sure the "facts" about 9/11 quite add up? You must also think the Earth is flat. Ergo, you are a complete idiot who cannot be trusted. QED.
That's how "flat earth" works in my opinion. People are scared to use the word "conspiracy" nowadays, as if "conspiracies" do not exist. It's a result of government-directed mainstream media propaganda to discredit dissenting opinion and/or general inquiry.
>Of course, people still exist that believe the moonlanding videos were faked, but their hypothesis hinges on the government spending extraordinary amounts of money to produce the fake.
Are you truly suggesting here that the government would never make a fake video about a moon landing because it would cost too much to make this video?? So instead they sent humans to the moon and brought them back safely to earth because that's all their budget would allow?
I like to do a thought experiment. If mind control is possible, will the CIA want to use it? If the CIA uses mind control, will they tell you about it? If they say that the program was a failure and was shut down, are they telling the truth?
I recommend taking a look into a thing called "trauma-based mind control". It may alter your way of thinking. Or it may not.
Do you believe that there are secret sex slave networks in the world, anywhere, at all? If so, who participates in them?
Do you believe that satanic rituals are practiced anywhere in the world? Who practices them?
Do you believe that pedophilia is a thing that exists in the world? If so, which ones are the pedophiles?
Do you truly believe that Bin Laden is the beginning and end of 9/11? That multiple buildings were turned to dust because two planes hit two of them? That some "art students" filming the event were happenstance? That Bin Laden was captured, killed, and thrown into the sea? That Middle East destabilization, the War on Terror, and ubiquitous global surveillance were unplanned consequences of an unforeseen catastrophe?
