LAW of GASLIGHTING: Any set of outspoken minds X on topic Y not aligning with modern institutions moves through 4 stages.

I) Speaking out about Y.
II) Speaking out about Institutional Gaslighting on Y.
III) Finding X(Y) Gaslighting is Y independent.
IV) Gaslighting *replaces* Y.

Example:

I) “How can it be that the ONLY thing we know about COVID is that it couldn’t be from the Wuhan lab.”

II) “How is asking about Lab origins of COVID racist? That’s both stupid & insane.”

III) “Supporting the Police is also Racist?” “Math is racist?”

IV) It’s all fake.

In simplest terms:

To the outspoken, everything eventually migrates toward focus on institutional gaslighting/smear campaigns.

Don’t believe it? Pick your 3 favorite public minds challenging institutional narratives.

Now look for the signs of this trauma.

So: How’d I do?
