    I called this years ago. I could see the Dopamine addiction happening, and knew these psychopaths would lean into it and try to weaponize it, and they have. Of course, they have.

    It’s not the first time. Tobacco companies were found to manipulate their formulations to make theor products addict users quicker, addict them stronger, and make it harder to quit, all while denying the addictive properties, and even the obvious health issues.

    Oil companies had their own studies back in the 80s, that clearly predicted Climate Change from fossil fuels, and yet they continue to deny it to this day.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the think tanks that fund and support the Conservative Propaganda Machine have also done studies to identify the addictive properties and triggers in their propaganda, and manipulate it for maximum effect.

    WHEN we take back our country, and make major changes to get away from the ugly conservative society that they’ve tried to force upon us for decades, the addictive properties of “products” need to be identified and strongly regulated, to avoid exploiting unsuspecting citizens.
