Way too many Tumblr posts: “there’s an evil conspiracy to control society by selling things people want to buy.”

My father’s reading a dystopia novel called Outwalkers. The evil government pretends there’s a plague so no one can leave, and gives people “vaccines” that actually control them with microchips.

I would not feel comfortable writing that plotline into one of my stories, for the same reason I wouldn’t feel comfortable writing a story in which a genocide was a hoax.

I've been reading about this "Project Monarch" conspiracy bullshit, where people claim the government is making people multiple so it can use them as assassins. It sounds like the final and most powerful form of my Aunt S's brand of gaslighting.

What S currently does is divide . . . herself? Themselves? I've never figured out if S is multiple or not. But however you slice it, there are S'es that are friendlier, and there are S'es that are more hostile. One S will remember everything she hates you for doing. Another S will have no memory of any of that. There can always be at least one S who loves you, and there can always be at least one S who screams at you over the phone. But if you act more like they want you to, you'll (usually) get friendlier S's to interact with, and if you act in ways they don't accept, you'll have the hostile S'es to deal with.

This Project Monarch stuff divides you instead. Everything about you that the conspiracy believer loves, that's you. Everything about you that the conspiracy believer hates, that's your evil alternate personality that was forced on you by the government. So if they pare away all of your behaviors they don't like, and force you only to act in ways they approve of, that's a selfless act because they're saving you from the conspiracy.
