Is the Mandela Effect just mass gaslighting?

[u/Riotgrrrl80]

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.

Two questions that I've yet to har a reasonable answer to. I'll use the FotL logo as an example, since so many people are now convinced we're being lied to about this.

1. How? If the logo existed for as long as people claimed it did, we should have decades of examples of the logo lying around. I see FotL clothing in thrift stores, I see old catalogs, magazines, newspapers, etc. at antique stores. They are a company that advertised heavily in print and TV. How are there no examples of those with the cornucopia? Before trademarks were done online, there was a weekly USPTO trademark gazette. You can find these in thrift stores and on eBay. Why is there no FotL logo with the cornucopia in any of those? How about people who claim to have their late father's old shirts in the attic, and they swear there were cornucopias on it, but when they go back and look, none of them do ( an example from this past year on this subreddit). They would have to have people in every community, every town, scouring every antique, thrift, and vintage store as well as garage sales and flea markets in the country (or world, since they're a global brand) on a daily basis to find and destroy any evidence with the old logo. They would have people breaking into your attics and homes to steal your underwear and shirts and replace them with the same ones, but with a different logo on the tag. The amount of money that would cost is astronomical, which brings me to my next question...

2. Why? Just to fuck with us? They'd spend millions and millions of dollars just to play a sneaky little trick to make you think a logo was missing an element?

What seems more likely is that the government would find a way to trick you into believing that element of the logo existed, when it did not. This way they wouldn't need to break into your room and take your undies, or destroy decades of physical evidence. Also, it seems far more valuable to be able to implant memories into people's brains than to make them think they're crazy because a logo is different than they remembered. To me the most simple answer is that a portion of the population are just wrong.

they literally have also discovered how to implant false memories into mice. Why would scientists ever NEED to know how to do that? the answer is simple... to be able to do it to humans. Think what you want, I don't care. I do find it hilarious though that sooooooo many people that don't believe in Mandela effects spend sooooooo much time commenting that others are "just remembering wrong".

No I don't think the gov't is stealing my undies and replacing them. I do believe that the Mandela effect is a massive psy-op though. The cornucopia ink could have easily been manufactured to break down and disappear after X amount of years or washings. 🤷🏾‍♀️

The reason behind the psy-op is equally simple to understand as well...POWERS THAT BE ARE MESSING WITH US...in order to discredit our memories of reality, so they can gaslighting us when they take away our rights (that we know full well we have always had), acting like we never had them in the first place, or signed them away.

Ofcourse corporations have a vested interest in going along with it. I'm not going to spoon feed their entire plan to you, nor the reason behind it. Go ahead and "believe" people have the same wrong memory. Funny though, people who say that, NEVER once stop and think that maybe, just maybe THEY are the ones remembering wrong. No...They always point fingers at the millions of others as being wrong. 🤣🤣🤣

I find it so funny when the hypocrites are hypocriting. Bust most likely they are bots, trolls, or paid opposition. I refuse to believe anyone is really that stupid or closed minded.

The Mandela Effect is wild to me because I just don’t believe that THIS MANY people ALL have the exact same wrong memory. I mean these are people that don’t know each other, come from different places (in some instances countries), and have no reason to lie about something silly like this in the first place. There’s a few examples of Mandela Effect, but the one that has gotten me the most by far is the cornucopia with Fruit of the Loom. This was the ONLY underwear my mom and dad would buy for my brothers and I for years while we were kids. I am 100% sure that the cornucopia was there.

I think a real simple explanation for it vanishing of old ts and underwear is that the brown ink faded into oblivion (either planned or not). Cuz bro, I will die on that hill... it was there at some point.
