The #propaganda in the west is so strong and insidious that i actively try to avoid taking it in, not letting these #narratives and false views into my mind. I see it as dangerous enough that i treat it in the same way that i do #commercials. If i happen to come in contact with it by accident i actively look away from images they present, and put my fingers in my ears when they are speaking. This is for my own safety.

How do i keep up to date on what is going on in the world? Someone here on diaspora suggested to me that we can follow individual journalists who we trust. But who can we trust and how to determine who to trust? One thing i look for is if a person has had opinions that have held up over time, for example people like Noam #Chomsky or John #Pilger (unfortunately he's now passed away).
