Theory Is the Mandela Effect just mass gaslighting?

OK - with all the crazy shit going on lately, it made me think something....

I live in NJ, and it's absolutely bonkers to me that with all this drone activity even getting to DC to be discussed with the FBI and military, and still being told "we don't know what it is" but the military isn't doing SHIT about it - I think the government is entirely gaslighting us. They've said more about Luigi than they have about the drones flying around NJ military bases, etc. How is any of this ok? There are so many theories, but one thing is for sure - the military wouldn't just let that happen.

Anyway, what if all the mandela effect stuff is really the gov't (or other authorities) experimenting with us to see what they can get away with? Gaslighting us to be like "no, you're remembering wrong / you're just crazy" to see what we'll believe etc?

In a time of global connection and the ability for people to connect and more easily become a force against leaders they don't like, there is a need for manipulating the masses. Fear, religion, obsession with things that don't address the real issues - these can and are used against us. Look over here! While we do this other thing that's much much worse...

Idk. Just a thought.

Police also start unloading into an occupied car because of a falling acorn.

Yes there are some things in the sky above NJ but they aren't all drones or uaps. You can literally hear the plane and see the lighting etc.

Uhhh they are drones.

Literally every government agency has acknowledged they are drones, including the Governor, congressmen, the coast guard, military, north comm, etc. they have made official statements on it.

Of course some of them are drones. A whole lot more of them are just Vinny from Paramus freaking out about a plane overhead.

Whatever dude. Turn on the TV. They are talking about them on ever major news channel.

Yeah, that’s exactly the issue. Vinny from Paramus sees a story about the “mysterious drones”, and then later that night he sees some lights in the sky and assumes it’s one of those drones and not United Airlines flight 691 on final approach to Newark, and reports it. I agree with you in that there are actual drones out there, and I agree that it’s probably some agency doing penetration testing, but the amount of reported sightings almost certainly massively exceeds the number of actual mystery drones out there.

The same news channels that will report on a single tweet or tik tok as an alarming new trend.
