Every psyop is really a weapon aimed at your mind; to not just make you fearful but to ultimately control your behaviour. Being mentally resilient is one of the most underrated but important skills in a world where you are constantly bombarded with narratives designed to drive consumerism, spread despondency, infect you with fear, justify learned helplessness, cater to your vices, accelerate addictions, and lose self control. The objective being to keep you distracted, emotionally reactive, psychologically dependent on the powers that be and their systems; for a person who cannot govern their own mind will inevitably become governed by someone else's agenda. Resist the urge to become a permanent hostage to outrage, fear and manufactured urgency.

They can’t necessarily tell you what to think, but that can tell you what to think about.

Louder!!
I think it is true, I am afraid it is true, the thing you say: psyops are weapons to make us fearful and dependent.
My question is, actually two questions:
1. how to tell which psyop is a psyop vs the truth or at least mostly true by a "better" side (or how to know when to simply ignore both sides, I guess when an outcome does not impact me is a good guidance or heuristic)
2. how to increase mental resiliency
Most psyops never need a false claim; picking which true facts get airtime is enough, and omission leaves nothing to fact-check. A better question than 'is this wrong' is 'what does this account never mention'. I would add one structural point: outrage pays in ranked feeds, so resilience carries the whole weight while the incentive stays untouched. A chronological feed, or one you pay for, changes that more than discipline does. Discipline still matters when the incentive cannot be changed, but it should not be the only line of defence.
To answer the first question I have a checklist I usually follow. It's not exhaustive neither is it the only way to filter between fact or psyop but it's proven useful over the yearsm. It's probably a psyop if:
1. The gvt, MSM, and the masses preach something as settled or common sense, the opposite is usually true
2. Open debate or discussion around the subject is forbidden or censored or can get you cancelled for disagreeing/dissenting
3. A lot of money is used to prop up the narrative and it can't stand on its own merits
4. It doesn't make sense when you reason from first principles
5. Requires you implicitly trust the authorities
Mental resiliency is something you practice everyday when you consistently think, speak and act in accordance with what's true, despite the temptation to do the opposite.
makes sense
thanks for sharing
yes
and immediately a few issues comes to mind, where your checklist items are checked ...
Glad to hear that, that was helpful 🤝😊
