I've been trying. It's just so bloody obvious that all the major news push the same spin on the same stories (and ignore others) and use the same phrasing. People prefer to whine about it instead of giving it a name that works. We took "Fake News" from them and shoved their faces in it - it worked. Giving a thing a label and ridiculing it works (if the label makes sense). I think "The Narrative" is even more damaging than "Fake News", but... it hasn't caught on. Yet.
Use it, and it'll catch on. Wasn't too long ago it seemed very lonely using "Uniparty", but that caught on. So did "Deep State". I see them everywhere now. Remember when mentioning the Deep State made you a conspiracy theory nut?
And lately people have started arguing about the capitalization of all sorts of other things with all sorts of various reasonings. Real popular atm is White vs white and Black vs black. Distraction...
I also occasionally use The Machine, but no one likes that. They can easily see the government and the news media and entertainment media and election fraud and others all working together against us, but meh...
Give it a name, ridicule it. Because it's ridiculous.
The Narrative
We should make this standard lingo. We don't actually live in a simulation, but The Narrative would bring us closer to it.
