I think you're on the wrong track. Reality is still immensely accessible to you if you go out in the world and critically check the information you've been given against the human reality out there.

Don't lose yourself to the despair or confusion.

In a way, it's also kind of blatant if you look back at the past 10 years and how nothing seems to socially make sense in a natural organic human way. Like orchestrated social event planning to manipulate psychology to lead to a certain path. (Look into generations of warfare, specifically 5th and 6th iirc.)

Plenty of things make social sense from the last 10 years in local communities, national contexts and international contexts. Both the good and the bad, e.g. a broad normalisation of LGBT and a backlash against it, progress in renewable energy and fights against different diseases, the rise of vaccine skeptics after COVID, the pandemic itself.

Or look at the "Ceuta crisis" in Europe. Images spread, right wing panic ensues, critical media investigates, it's clear that the real situation is completely under control, the whole story becomes about an opportunistic right wing trying to create panic about immigration and left wing Spain.

All of this has played out in a natural, organic human way. Yes, social media has been a big, ugly shift in how communities work, and yes, they definitely work on purpose to simplify things that would previously die off most likely. But if you go outside and open your eyes, the world can make plenty of sense without some inhuman conspiracy beyond regular greed.

And please don't say that anyone that disagrees with you are just victims of propaganda, that's the ideal way to detach yourself from reality.
