If it can help an anon, here's something that worked for me.

MSM utilize comedy/ strong emotion to hypnotize. Think what the Daily Show & Colbert Rep. had success using. Stimuli - then emotional direction - which shaped thought patterns (depending on media directed at a certain group, however large). Example would be to think of a fictional character you really liked. Did they ever act in a way that made you pause? But you went on and accepted what this character does? (Your subconscious assimilates the character as a real 'friend') Your physically present friends and 'friends' shape your reality, If people have too many 'friends' and not enough real people then they can be influenced easier. Media effects people that watch media and those that come into contact with people that watch media. It's a much more powerful weapon than most people realize.

That line of conversation helped me wake up my cousin. That's that bit that made something click to start seeing past the illusion.
