It's really not government in and of itself that I view as being mainly responsible. It's the dinosaur legacy media who propagated the lies and devotion to the world to begin with. Without the media there is no hundred million dollar Bison Strong, or charity telethones. The entire world was pitched a bag of lies by the treacherous media.

What if it were legitimately an emergency drill (though terribly scheduled) that took place, and the media, specifically the single feed that broadcast it, were the ones who dramatized it so intensely and massively that they created the narrative themselves without government involvement?

The legacy media is quickly being replaced, by design, social media. Social media and the news media pose so much of a clear and present danger in my reality then the "Government" does, but I get it.
