I totally concur with your post...
The sure sign that people are under a spell is their "watchword" communication and dividing propaganda in two opposite groups...
And living in "reality" anyway is a hard thing very few people want to...
When we encounter reality we lost our common place political stances, and filters... And it is hard to lost his certitudes....
Sometimes people make discoveries but it is always at the price of leaving the "common accepted reality"...
Sometimes the price paid is the suffering of watching others to make bad choice..
Anyway living in reality is not a free lunch at all....
What i just said appear untrue only to those who called reality the sleepwalk in the ball park they call their world and baptized "reality"...
"Reality" with a big "R" will be a common conquest by all humanity....For the moment we are all divided in virtual realities that appear real to us...And we accused others to be out of reality...left or right, Vaxx or not....
