Forgotten / Memory-holed Psyops - What things do you believe were pushed heavily into public consciousness only to be forgotten that they were pushed at all?

People forgot the MASSIVE backlash against Disney for hiring incompetent H1bs and forcing people to train their replacements.
This was 2015.

Back in 2010, Arizona was a particular U.S. state that actually enacted [rightfully] its immigration laws against the wetbacks, and thus this caused a huge shitstorm in the media. The current thing for the leftoids to protest was Arizona and how it was an authoritarian Nazi state.

Didn't something like this happen in the 90's as well while Clinton was there and also in the same state? Maybe this is why a lot of RINO Establishment types are run there in both federal and local Arizona elections.

A fascinating thing where when something actually happens, a short memetic is delevoped and dissemenated by the media, then adopted by the drones of society.

Covid: "These are unprecedented times." / "Unprecedented times."
Kirk Assassination: "We need to turn the temperature down." / "Turn the temperature down."

Nobody acknowledges these, though you definitely remember the Covid one.

Twitter was always awful, pre and post musk buyout. There's some revisionist ass history where people claim Twitter was a much more usable, kinder community pre-musk, but that was absolutely never the case. Twitter was dox/cancel central for years. And blue verified checkmarks were assigned not based on a person's popularity or status, but more based on their political standing. I remember many more controversial or right leaning users not receiving verification, not because they weren't widely popular or recognized, but because Twitter staff simply didn't want to give them recognition.

The blue checkmark was originally for verifying the accounts of major public figures. Then around 2015 they started revoking blue checks from people who expressed wrongthink and giving them out like candy to political allies.

Stances on immigration used to be reversed, with the same arguments, just restated. The left claimed that immigration suppressed wages and broke communities (see: replacement); the right claimed that the left was just being xenophobic and anti-American (see: moral failing).

Each side positions themselves as redeeming themselves from prior sin; which means nothing gets fixed and nothing ever happens.

In the 80's and 90's:-
We were told that the sea levels were declining and beaches were disappearing.
We were told that there was a hole in the ozone layer.
We were told to fear Acid Rain.

There were probably others that I can't remember.

Haven't heard anything about whether they fixed the hole in the ozone layer, maybe us all having to switch freezers and to stop using hairspray worked a treat.

Now the sea levels are allegedly rising.

Another one I've just thought of is cancer, Cancer Research charity etc.
It used to be said that 1 in 3 people will get cancer during their lifetime. Now it's 1 in 2.
So, either these people trying to find a cure for cancer are so bad at it that they've made it worse, or the money is being spaffed away, or the progress is being purposefully throttled.

Twitter had a massive CP problem before Musk, to the point that when they considered launching a OnlyFans like service they had to pull the plug because it would completly overwhelm the moderation trying to stop it being used for CP distribution.

The Checkmark faggotry started fittingly with the faggot Milo Yianoppolus, a lolcow on his own right. He had his check removed for no other reason than he was involved in GOOBERGRAPE and from there it escalated. Getting one was never easy, but after this shit it was literally a fucking quest of having to know a guy who knows a guy so you could have the ear of a twitter insider to get one. This video is a good example:

The entire narrative about Twitter under Musk is a complete shitshow. The only thing Musk has really done is applied the rules evenly to the entire political spectrum and stopped artificially boosting progressive shit. The entire narrative of Twitter being bad "now" is just cope. I get so fucking mad having to defend that fucking assburgers billionaire but he really didn't do shit, all these people are just mad that Twitter is no longer a hugbox like BlueSky is.

Or there is a cure and only the elite are using it while they get rich off treating everyone else.

I completely agree with you.
Cancer treatment is more profitable than cancer cure.

And if you die? Well. Ah shucks. Best leave a "Gift" to them in your will.

Twitter is no longer a hugbox like BlueSky is.

Bluesky isn't a hugbox either. The CEO there mocked the userbase when people called her out for banning people that spoke ill of Charlie Kirk while not banning the most blocked user on the site, Jessie Signal, a transphobic journalist.

People who look for "safe spaces" on social media, should just kick themselves in a hole by running a little discord server with their little like-minded imaginary friends. It's not our responsibility to make sure you feel "safe" or "valid". The internet wasn't designed with you in mind.

Post-lockdown, the Far North of Scotland had no jobs, no culture, no hope, no future. The kids had been off school for 2 years and got no qualifications, turning to drugs and crime. The notorious "county lines" child slavery drug gangs that plague the UK reached Inverness for the first time, getting 10-year-olds into drug debt and enslaving them as drug mules. Even the forestry and oil and gas industries had huge layoffs because of reduced demand. The local football club went bust. There were no jobs, and nothing to do.

I imagine it's similar in the remote, rural parts of wherever you life. Nobody will talk about it, despite people STILL dying to it

That sounds almost identical to Appalachia and the "Rust Belt" here in America. All the good jobs are gone, huge issues with drug/alcohol abuse, and a ton of brain-drain since anyone with the means to do so gets out as soon as they can. Only real difference is that the 2008 recession was what really gutted those regions instead of Covid.

I went to the heart of rural West Virginia once for a church charity trip in high school. We went there to do stuff like basic house repairs and build wheelchair ramps for people who couldn't afford it. The family that me and a few others were assigned to was simply heartbreaking. The Dad was unemployed, overweight, diabetic, and losing mobility. The Mom was immobile and had been so for about 10 years at the time because of multiple failed back surgeries (possibly medical malpractice) and supposedly the doctors refused to operate further because it could kill her. The Dad was her full time caretaker as the Mom was immobile and borderline vegetative, she mostly slept, never spoke, and appeared to live full-time in an armchair in the living room. They had two sons, the younger one was probably 10, already morbidly obese, and glued to the TV the whole time we were there. The older one might have been 13 or 14, and we hardly saw him at the house because he spent his days jogging to stay fit. He was the only healthy one and you could see that he desperately wanted to get the hell out.

We did some roof repairs and built a ramp to their front door.

I still think about them sometimes and wonder if they are ok.

2014 is ancient on the internet these days but back then when ISIS was at its peak, they were selling sex slaves on Twitter. There was some mild controversy about how Twitter would do nothing about it and then it was revealed that some Saudi owned 10 percent of Twitter. Twitter was always a scummy platform.

Jesus, 12 years ago. I would be lying if I said I didn't die a little inside after reading that. The 2010's were an absolutely chaotic decade, but I want to stay optimistic and assume things will get better. At least from an American perspective, things were fucked in the 30's but then boomed in the late 40's and 50's, then they went to shit in the 60's and 70's before the pendulum swung back to the 80's and 90's. Give me my rainbows, but the 00's, 2010's, and 2020's will be our shitty time before things get better in the 2030's and 2040's, but then again we haven't had to deal with a competency crisis of this scale before.

Twitter was always a scummy platform.

The porn biz were very early adopters when it came to Twitter. They even released videos with titles such as "Pornstar Tweet" and "Twitter my Shitter".

We were told that there was a hole in the ozone layer.

There was a hole in the ozone layer.

They banned chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which is why it got harder to throw away old fridges and why you don't see Halon used as a fire suppressant any more. So the ozone layer recovered. It's an example of "this is a serious problem" -> "let's do something about this serious problem" -> "the problem has gone away", kinda like the Y2K bug. It only feels like a psyop because competent people prevented it getting worse.

We were told to fear Acid Rain.

Acid rain was a real problem. It's why old sandstone and limestone statues sometimes have a melted or pitted appearance.

That second photo shows a statue in Herten Castle in 1908 and 1969.
Acid rain was killing forests and killing aquatic life. One hallmark of it was these beautiful crystal clear lakes you'd sometime see - they were crystal clear because everything in them was dead, so nothing could create murk. Various interventions like cracking down on high sulphur containing coal, mandating flue gas desulphurisation and enforcing catalytic converters on cars very much resolved the issue in the West, although it's a growing problem in China.
Once again, the reason this doesn't feel like a problem now is because competent people prevented it getting worse. Although ironically the 2020 ban on high sulphur shipping fuel has reversed what's called the "aerosol masking effect" and is why the weather's been so weird recently, because it stops sulphur seeding clouds and reflecting heat energy back into space.

The blue checkmark was originally for verifying the accounts of major public figures.

They were given out in a semirandom manner for ages, you had people who had tiny accounts with ~50 followers having blue checkmarks because they went drinking with Jack Dorsey or some shit. Muchmore egregious was the fact that Twitter management made the decision (during the late Obama era?) to turn people with blue checkmarks into unaccountable, untouchable internet nobility who had their reach boosted and were exempt from TOS enforcement unless they went full retard and posted CP on main.

Acid rain and CFC were a problem.
Global warming is in no way 90% caused by humans. So the huge amount of climate hysteria was unnecessary. And it is an exaggerated problem.
