  • There’s too much lies in the world, I kinda developed a sort of “solipcistic” view of the world.

    If I never witnessed it, I categorize it as “potentially false”.

    Of course, the entire news could be just fabricated. Nobody can tell for sure.

    Anything beyond my immediate sorroundings could just be a stage. I could be in a truman show with everything I see being a deception, or in other terms “propaganda”.

    I’m not saying that everything isn’t real, I just feel like that possibility should be entertained, to keep in mind as a potential possible explanation of what appears to be reality. Just as how a nation can lie to its people about reality, even the people closest to you, your parents, could also just be liars as well.

    People never question if they are, in fact, the biological children of their parents, and just assume they are. That is another form of “propaganda”. People just accept their parent’s words as truth.

    Propaganda is certainly everywhere. You cannot be sure what is real, other than the fact that “you” exist, in some form.











  • Probably nothing revolutionary.

    But if you don’t believe the propaganda, you’d probably enjoy life more.

    For example: there literally a list of steam games that some far-right nutjob compiled that declares a lot of games to be “Woke” or “DEI”. Imagine how much fun they miss out on because they are so far up the kool aid cult and actually refuses to play those games.

    And other times, it can save you from a lot of misery and perhaps save your life. See: Anti-Vax and Anti-Science propaganda. If you are able to see through that bullshit, you wouldn’t die from a stupid horse dewormer or other psudoscience crap.

    “You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.” -Mahatma Gandhi

    The fight might not be right here, right this moment, but you can pass along the torch, the spirit.

    Teach your children to be skeptical of the authorities, and be vigilent of propaganda. If they are getting involved in a “Hitler Youth” equivalvent, you’d intervene and stop them.

    Treach kindness and empathy, but also decisiveness when the time comes to stand against injustice.

    And also, pick your fights carefully, do not do this alone. Do not become a foolish dead hero, become a successful revolutionary. (Underground Movements)

    Don’t let them imprison your mind.

    TLDR: The best you can do is just refuse to regurgitate the same propaganda. This is a passive thing that is, while subtle, an important part of the resistance.
