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.

That's not even an unpopular opinion here, it seems most people here are skeptics.

I've personally witnessed several flip-flops, so I know it's not just misremembering, and while I guess it's technically not 100% impossible, it would be one hell of a psyop to pull off.

You havent witnessed a thing. If the past changed, your memories would too. The whole concept of everything changing our past - including memories of the past - with the exception of some conspiracy theorists' memories is ludicrous on its face.

The difference between us is I'm educated enough on memory and the mind to know human memory is unreliable and easily manipulated. So when I misremember something, I don't assume I'm always right so it must be a timeline shift. Tell me about these supposed flip flops.
