It is a Guardian article. Not a trustworthy source, has a strong leftie bias and has been known to dox people in the past.
Therefore, why should I take the article accusations seriously?
Sorry I don't really understand your position.
You're rejecting the quotes from the article on the basis of the publication, suggesting a better accusation would be a "scam", and then refuting that accusation as baseless.
I'm not trying to be an ass, I mean this as kindly as possible, but this is a straw man argument. You should look into logical fallacies. They're well documented tactics for manipulating people and misrepresenting information. Everyone should. It will help you to reason about information and ultimately identify when you're being manipulated.
I cannot imagine being blue pilled.
I'm confident that the amount of things you cannot imagine is quite substantial; certainly far more than that of an average person.
