Let’s be real for a second. We are living in a time where people are constantly trying to mess with your brain.

If you ever watched the news or scrolled through TikTok and felt like something was “off,” you aren’t crazy. You are actually paying attention. The image above is like a cheat code for a video game. It shows you exactly how powerful people—like the government, big companies, or the media—try to trick you into believing lies. They call it a “Psyop,” which is just a fancy military word for messing with your mind.

Here is the breakdown of how they do it, written so simply that even a kid could spot the “bull snit”.

1. Everyone Says the Same Thing at Once (Speed + Uniformity)

Imagine you walk into the cafeteria and ten different people at ten different tables all shout the exact same sentence at you at the exact same time. You would think it was weird, right? You would know they planned it.

The news works exactly the same way. Real investigative journalism takes time. Reporters have to talk to people, check facts, and write the story. That takes days!

But sometimes, something big happens, and within 30 minutes, every TV channel, every YouTuber, and every politician is saying the exact same words. That isn’t news. That is a script. If everyone agrees instantly, they aren’t thinking for themselves. They are just repeating what they were told to say.

2. They Try to Scare You Stupid (Emotion First)

Your brain has two modes: Thinking Mode and Panic Mode. You cannot be in both at the same time.

When you are terrified, angry, or feeling really guilty, your brain turns off the logic switch. The people running these tricks know this. They don’t want you to ask questions. They want you to get mad.

They will show you scary pictures or tell you sad stories to make you react fast. It’s a trap. They want you to scream, “We have to do something!” before you even know what is actually happening. By the time you calm down and look at the facts, it’s usually too late. You already fell for it.

3. The Solution Was Already Waiting

Have you ever suspected a salesman broke something just so he could sell you the glue to fix it? That is what this is.

Sometimes, the government or big tech companies have a new law or a new app they want to force on everyone. But they know people won’t like it. So, they wait for a “crisis” or a disaster. As soon as people are scared (see point #2), they jump in and say, “Hey! We have this new law that will fix everything!”

If a huge, complicated law comes out three days after a disaster, they didn’t write it in three days. They wrote it months ago and were just waiting for an excuse to use it.

4. Follow the Cash (Who Benefits?)

This is the most important rule in life: Follow the money.

When the news is pushing a story really hard, stop and ask yourself: “If I believe this, who gets rich?”

Does a drug company make billions of dollars? Does a politician get more power? Does a big website get to ban its competition?

People at the top rarely do things just to be nice. They do things to get paid or to get power. If someone is making a ton of money off your fear, they are probably lying to you to keep the cash flowing.

5. Real Life Isn’t a Cartoon (Simple Heroes & Villains)

Think about the people you know. Is anyone 100% pure good or 100% pure evil? No. People are messy. We all make mistakes.

But these “Psyops” try to make the world look like a comic book. They tell you that “Our Side” is perfect and brave, and “The Other Side” is basically a bunch of monsters.

If a story makes it seem like there is a simple “Bad Guy” and a simple “Savior,” it’s fake. Real life is gray, not black and white. If they are trying to make you hate a specific group of people without giving you the full story, you are being manipulated.

The Bottom Line

Don’t be a sheep.

The world is full of people who want to control what you think because it makes them money or gives them power. The only way to fight back is to slow down. Don’t believe the first thing you hear. Don’t let them make you emotional. And always look at who is getting paid.
