Whatever your interest or hobby, there is a psyop devoted to it. Wherever you are, whatever you do, whatever you're curious about, you will find targeted propaganda.

Because of the methods used. The conspiracies wrapped in a cozy blanket of semi truth and emotional manipulation make it easy to fall prey to.

If you're angry, it will make you angrier. Violent, even. If you're happy, it can make you hate with the loving joy of false religious zeal. If you are confused and uncertain, it will provide the esoteric truths you seek, with the absolute certainty of a "final solution"

Etc

And it's difficult to unwind.
