Whatever your interest or hobby, there is a psyop devoted to it. Wherever you are, whatever you do, whatever you’re curious about, you will find targeted propaganda.
Because of the methods used. The conspiracies wrapped in a cozy blanket of semi truth and emotional manipulation make it easy to fall prey to.
