TIL... The French wanted to efficiently feed the peasants with potatoes. The peasants didn't like it. So then armed guards were placed around the potatoes and pretended like it was special until people stole the potatoes and wanted to eat them, as originally planned. Psyops as old as this lmao. Art of deception and the leaders are exemplary marstercrafts of it. Imagine what they're making you do you don't even realize fits their plans š³
