Perception is controlled by the media. Notice how these things are gone, but something like the January 6th protests or the George Floyd case are still hot topics. One thing that is used to create this effect is the hastening of the news cycle; that is, they manipulate the speed and amount of information, combined with making a huge percentage of it meaningless nonsense. Without the skeleton of a coherent, regularly paced world-narrative, it all becomes chaos. The narrative lasts 24, or 48 or 72 hours...then it's gone - unless they keep something in front of you. This is how the whole mechanism works to control what people think. If you steal people's coherent world-narrative, they'll depend on whatever is given to them for structure. So they are given a fire hydrant to drink from, except for the few stories which are meant to distract/focus them. Besides those, it's sportsball, food, HBO series, Netflix, social media influencers and fake-tit, fake-ass nigger queens to occupy and destroy your mind. Since you depend on the drone of the TV voices to tell you what's necessary to think about, you'll forget whatever they don't show you. So they memory-hole these things by just failing to make them consciously available. Hence, you've got to be your own journalist. Those who are doing that - I mean, those who go looking for places other than Snopes, Vice and Daily Beast - are people like us. Underlying the whole mechanism is the human tendency to determine relevance socially. We take cues from others, for the most part, on what's a relevant topic, and what isn't. That social machine has been coupled to 24-hr relevance. If it stopped being talked about by the news or the 'influencers' yesterday, then you're behind if you bring it up today. Get with the program, loser!
