Mind control is real and it's called propaganda. It works regardless of the subject's IQ. I've seen short bus inhabitants and highly esteemed academics fall for it each day. As a bitcoiner you'll encounter their pushback as regurgitated "news" and opinions. It's wise not to engage them from a fearful perspective. They're useful idiots, not necessarily evil per se. Some will get to wake up at their own pace, not a second sooner as the programming is strong because of the TV sets, radios and blue checkmarks on the mainstream platforms. Nostr is a beam of light in an ocean of ignorance.
