quote:

Psychology Today
Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information ...
” that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves. They may end up doubting their memory, their perception, and even their sanity.”

Why the selective edit?

do some people use the term in a way different than its original meaning? Sure.

I will put this here.

To get someone to go insane, doesn't there need to be psychological manipulation involved. Just because they are not successful in making Americans insane, does not mean they are not using the tactics of gaslighting sir.


You're under the false impression that for it to be gaslighting one must reach insanity. That is not correct at all.

Why the selective edit? I was highlighting the points to my argument. Which is gaslighting is being used whether it is successful or not at obtaining the goal of someone questioning themselves, or going insane.

Just look at all the mostly white liberals who have succumbed to the stories that they are racist and doubt who they are and start apologizing for being something they never were.
