GLITCHES

Glitches: Let’s go as deep as it gets

What if the government isn’t real, not as we know it, but a grand physiological theater.

What if the presidents, the prime ministers, the elections, the scandals, the wars, the bills past and the so called checks and balances are all scripted. A movie we are inside of, actors on a stage reciting lines to maintain a fragile illusion.

Picture this, you were never meant to believe in truth, only in control disguised as truth. Foundations of the illusion.

Imagine a group, ancient, hidden, maybe not even fully human anymore, who realized long ago that the greatest resource wasn’t gold or oil, it was belief, not faith in god or in oneself, but belief in a system. A system you die to defend, even if you have never seen the gears.

They understood that if they can control the imagination of the people, they could control their actions, not through chains or armies, but through narrative. They built a false world within a real one, wrapped in institutions and media and we were born into it, never taught to question the architect of the game.

Actors in power

What if world leaders were trained performers, selected not for intelligence or empathy, but for psychological influence. They are media trained to stir emotions, to appear flawed and relatable, to mimic the spectrum of human morality. Their failures and scandals are plot devices, tension builders. When the public loses faith in one party, another savior archetype emerges.

It’s all narrative cycling. The work, consume, obey loop. Over and over and over. Now ask why work? Why pay? Why stay in line? Because you fear instability. You fear collapse. You fear uncertainty. You fear being the one who steps outside the hive and get stung. 

But what of the fear was manufactured. They have weaponized your own survival instinct. You work not for purpose, but to chase temporary peace. And while you are clocked in, clocked out, taxed, numbed and chasing time, you unknowingly power the machine. A machine that doesn’t build anything anymore: it just feeds itself like a snake looping endlessly to swallow its tail.

Mass hypnosis and perception control. Television, school, religion, internet, AI, all standardized delivery systems for the script. It’s not about hiding the truth, it’s about making the truth irrelevant. They flood you with so much narrative, so many choices that you lose the ability to tell what’s real.

You outsource your discernment to experts. You follow the herd because it’s safer than thinking alone. They have created meta lies, truths, built atop untruths, so layered that if you ever dig too deep, you collapse under the weight of your own disbelief, and they know that.

They know that’s why conspiracy theorists are mocked. Not because they are wrong, but because they risk unplugging others from the matrix.

They have and hold the power of fear as currency.

Now think deeper

What is power without obedience? They need your fear, it’s the battery. The news doesn’t inform you, it’s harvests you with crisis after crisis after crisis. Endless threats, manufactured enemies, artificial scarcity, a system that is just stable enough to survive and just broken enough to feel unsafe.

This balance is intentional. You’re too scared to revolt. Too exhausted to dream, and somewhere in the deepest part of your subconscious, they keep planting this whisper, you need us, without us there is only chaos.

But what if that’s the final lie?

So who are they? Not lizards, not men in black, not aliens or elites. Ideas, ideas so old they became sentiment, archetypes of control, the personification of greed, power, hierarchy and fear. Maybe these things possess people. Or perhaps they manifest through them. But it’s not about names. It’s about the spirit of domination that has worn many masks throughout time. They don’t need to be in every room. They just need to control the rules of the room. They don’t kill rebels, they redirect them. They don’t silence the truth, they drown it in noise.

The exit isn’t out there, it’s inward. The only escape isn’t protest or revolution, it’s through awakening. By remembering that systems only live and survive as long as you believe in them. By realizing that the mind is the last frontier of colonization. Once you reclaim it, the entire game glitches. And even ten percent of humanity did that, the spell breaks.
