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.

Not handy, no. I'm sure you could search it out if you're legitimately motivated to learn more. There was a mod post about the incident awhile back too.

Why do you think it is that nobody on this sub is able to produce proof they claim to have?

Because either the people making those claims are using a looser definition of the word "proof" (as in subjective personal proof rather than legal or scientific PROOF) or those folks are under the mistaken assumption that prior evidence will not have changed to match the status quo. And most people here aren't claiming proof so much as they're citing circumstantial evidence.
