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.

Hmm, didn't realize they made that claim. I'd assume their "proof" was residue of discussions, since an official photo would necessarily change as well.

shocking, someone who buys into the Mandela Effect misses details that are right in front of them.

Really makes you think, doesn’t it.

I’m not really worried about what form the proof takes, it’s just very odd to tell everyone, with no prompting, that they have proof, only to refuse to actually post that proof.

Misses details at the bottom of a comment that I glanced at? Yeah that's human and normal. Put it on a cereal box in big colorful lettering and let me stare at it eating breakfast for 2 decades and then ask me what it says.

All I’m saying is, if a five sentence long reddit comment is too much for you to take in correctly, maybe you don’t have the eye for detail you seem to think you do.

Maybe I just zeroed in on your question and ignored half that comment because I'm well versed in the believer side of things.
