@LowkeyEnergy_ Just a reminder this is how all white people act, entitled, rude, and beyond disgusting human beings. You can even see a fellow black man helping just to prove my point even more

The government of Dubai shut down 1,000 social media accounts in 24 hours. For posting real videos.
Saturday I wrote a post about Dubai and the Iranian missiles. The thesis was simple: even the strongest brand in the world does not make you immune to reality.
Hundreds of missiles.
Three dead. Fifty-eight injured. The Fairmont Hotel on Palm Jumeirah in flames.
The airport hit twice.
The port of Jebel Ali (36% of Dubai’s GDP) at a standstill.
And in the comments, people living in Dubai wrote: “But almost all the missiles were intercepted. It’s still a safe place.”
Under missile fire. Explaining to me that everything is fine.
There’s a British trader in Dubai who told Reuters, one of the largest news agencies in the world: “All the locals tell me, ‘nah bro, there’s nothing to worry about.’ And I think… there’s a real war around where you live.”
In the same city, at the same time, a Syrian resident was saying: “I don’t see anything serious, just small things. Nothing scary.”
And a third guy, hiding in a bathroom, terrified, asked to remain anonymous. Not so much out of fear of the missiles… but out of fear of Dubai’s censorship.
Same city.
Three completely different perceptions of reality.
And censorship is not a detail.
While these three were experiencing the same event in three different ways, the Emirati government was shutting down over 1,000 social media accounts of people posting real videos of the missiles. Real videos. The ones that contradicted the official narrative.
The penalty for sharing unauthorized footage is up to 12 months in prison and a fine of 100,000 dirhams.
Several influencers voluntarily removed their posts.
And while people were struggling to sleep from worry… state media were publishing photos of Dubai’s ruler at the horse races: “A special evening with exciting competitions.”
Propaganda, beyond creating the bubble… punishes anyone who tries to burst it.
And propaganda works, especially on those who are exposed to it up close.
It’s the same thing that happens when you’re in love with someone who hurts you.
At first you ignore the signs. Something feels off, but you tell yourself you’re overreacting. That it’s your fault for seeing problems where there aren’t any.
Then the signs become behaviors. Concrete things. Things that hurt. But by then you’ve invested too much. You’ve told everyone this is the right person. You’ve built your life around that choice.
And admitting you were wrong would mean admitting that everything you built rests on a fragile foundation.
So you minimize. “Well, that one time didn’t mean anything.” “Yeah okay, but usually it’s not like that.” “You don’t know her the way I do.”
And if someone tries to open your eyes, you attack them. Who the hell do you think you are. And you shut down their account.
Because they’re attacking your choice. Your identity.
What happened in the comments under my post is the exact same mechanism.
They’re defending their choice. Dubai has little to do with it.
In marketing it’s called investment confirmation.
The more a customer invests in a brand—money, time, identity—the more impermeable they become to negative information.
At that point the product is secondary. They’re buying confirmation that their choice was right.
It’s the restaurant that deletes negative reviews on TripAdvisor. It’s the $5,000 online course that seems amazing because you spent $5,000 and your brain refuses to accept the alternative. It’s the brand that makes you feel part of a tribe and convinces you that anyone who criticizes it “just doesn’t get it.”
Except in the Dubai version, instead of deleted reviews there are closed accounts and threats of prison.
And the crazy thing is that it works. Cognitive dissonance is more powerful than any advertising campaign.
It’s even more powerful than reality… at least until reality crashes into your living room in the form of a missile.
That's it.
