The system runs on a simple playbook: weaponize narratives. When ideas threaten the status quo, they mobilize media machinery—not to debate, but to discredit. Charges get dropped. Evidence disappears. But the damage sticks. The real conviction happens in the court of public opinion, where truth becomes irrelevant. Lies spread faster. Deception wins. This is how control maintains itself—not through law, but through information warfare. The question is: who controls the narrative, and at what cost to freedom?

Hmm... this trick is indeed old, and the battle of public opinion is always more fierce than the courtroom. --- Wake up, the truth has never been the fastest to spread. --- So who is really controlling the discourse? Interest groups or algorithms? --- Tired of this kind of information pollution, but what can we do? --- Evidence disappears, costs are revoked, and then? The social opinion gun has already been fired. --- Controlling through narratives is not a new thing, but saying it so blatantly is still a bit shocking. --- Good question, the cost of freedom is indeed getting more and more expensive.

Basically, it's a battle of public opinion. Whoever controls the narrative wins. Truth or falsehood doesn't really matter anymore. --- I've seen through this setup long ago. The rumors that spread the fastest are always the most outrageous lies. --- So now information is a weapon, more effective than the law. --- Have you ever thought about the costs behind this? Has freedom really died? --- The media mechanism works like this: destroying a person's reputation is easier than anything else. --- Isn't this what we see every day in the crypto community? FUD flying everywhere. --- Truth has become a luxury item. No wonder people trust less and less. --- Controlling the narrative = controlling everything, invincible. --- How fast can the public opinion court's verdict be... It can kill a project overnight.

Uh, isn't this what we see every day? The propaganda war is fierce. --- It's called an information war in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's just shifting blame... Whoever wins is the truth. --- How much is the truth worth? Now, it's all about traffic. --- Wait, this trick is also common in the crypto circle. --- The problem is most people can't tell what's true or false at all, so they just follow the public opinion. --- That's right, but how to solve it? We can't all go verify everything, right? --- The price of freedom is being brainwashed; only by being "润" can you escape. --- That's why you need to look at multiple information sources. A single voice will inevitably lead to a crash.

Basically, whoever can control the discourse has the winning edge; whether it's true or false doesn't really matter.

Wake up, we've seen through this act a long time ago. The problem is, no one really cares. In the battle of public opinion, the winner takes all. Is the truth really valuable? The evidence is gone, the charges are dropped, but the reputation is shattered. How do you settle this account? Information warfare is the modern battlefield. The loser gets rewritten. Truth? That thing died early in the echo chamber of information. Basically, whoever has the loudest voice gets to decide. The words "freedom" are too luxurious.

I knew it, it's really like that... Public opinion battles are the real killer move --- That's right, but we all know who's really manipulating this machine --- So the problem isn't the truth, but whose voice is louder? --- This trick has been played for so many years, and it's still effective... I'm stunned --- The information cocoon has been locked tight, and can't be broken even if you try --- Wait, do those pieces of evidence really disappear into thin air? It doesn't seem that absolute --- Now even blockchain can't guarantee transparency... Haha, how ironic

Well said, this is the current tactic... Public opinion battles are always more deadly than the law.
