re: The Mandela Effect and Erasing History

It 100% has always been Berenstain. As a little grammar nerd kid, I can clearly recall wondering why it was pronounced "e" but spelled "a".


You are correct to call the Mandela Effect a psyop, though. I used to frequent some really out-there skitzo-bait conspiracy forums, and I basically watched this concept coalesce in real time around 2012 or so.

It wasn't called the Mandela Effect yet. The first big example that people claimed to have experienced differently was Tank Man at Tianneman Square. Lots of people were making posts claiming to have been "from a timeline" where he had been pasted by tank treads as the world watched. People were posting like "wait... what do you mean they didn't run him over? I watched it live!"

Those threads had the Berenstain Bears thing. They had Mandela supposedly dying in prison. The entire basis of the theory came from a certain site I won't name. That site is nothing but skitzos, feds, and trolls. Imagine one of the chans, but instead of an image board, it's just anons talking about lizard people.

The Mandela Effect is a psyop to further detach people from reality and belief in God. Same for the "life is a computer simulation" theory, which was also popular on tinfoil fringe sites back then.


Tldr: I watched this become a thing. It's fake and gay.
