  • Conformist Propaganda

    If you enjoy privileged pseudoscience to quiet your critical thinking so that you can fit in with a positively censored outlook this is the pleasant cult-mindset guide for you. This is the perfect snake oil for anyone looking to paper the world in platitudes instead of face or do real hard things, a great place to keep your head in the trendy sand of imaginary safety. Join this branding of ignorance for alleged “wellness” in this fun-seeming distraction!
