ID: a photo of a child scratching their head looking confused and maybe anxious, the text above says: “Damn… I’m kinda tired of living inside a giant pyramid scheme controlled by criminals who gaslight us into believing they are the good guys.”

    It would be hard to say confidently that any given rhetoric hasn’t been captured by some purpose opposed to its overt intent. Words are more like Go than Checkers, and that’s part of the difficulty here. There’s a recursive pattern to this discussion: expressing a sentiment that the former statement has or may have been captured by malign intent. The urge to repeat that pattern is I would guess why there is writing here rather than none, and that isn’t bad even if it doesn’t exactly get anyone any closer to seeing the real big picture.
