How deep is the #rabbithole really and how far did you turn into the right aisle?

What we want to believe can easily distort the #truth. Believing does not mean knowing. The #problem is that we can't know what we don't know. If you know that you can never know everything, you have already learned the most important thing. However, if you believe you know everything and can prove it with alternative facts, you're hopelessly lost on the right side of the rabbit hole.

Has #criticism of the #mainstream now become mainstream itself?

Many critics of the mainstream are turning to alternative media, where distorting or fake reporting is much more common. But since this is the main criticism of the mainstream, this is quite surprising. In a world where people like Trump are elected president, the defense of the mainstream should be the resistance and the criticism is the mainstream.

X, l'autre terrain d'affrontement entre Israël et le Hamas

La #politique de la nouvelle direction étant de laisser chacun s'exprimer librement, y compris en propageant des fake news et des discours de #haine.

Je suis loin de défendre le style #fact-checker... En effet, tout n'est pas forcément faux quand ça vient de Twitter/X, mais par contre, ce n'est pas une garantie d'authenticité non plus.
#Telegram, même combat.

#NaomiKlein on Her New #Book “Doppelganger” & How #Conspiracy #Culture Benefits Ruling #Elite

source: https://www.democracynow.org/2023/9/14/naomi_klein_doppelganger

We spend the hour with acclaimed journalist and author Naomi Klein, whose new book #Doppelganger, out this week, explores what she calls “the mirror world,” a growing right-wing alternate universe of misinformation and conspiracies that, while identifying real problems, opportunistically exploits them to advance a hateful and divisive #agenda. Klein explains her initial motivation for the book was her own alter ego, the author Naomi Wolf, for whom she has often been mistaken. Both Naomis entered public consciousness in the 1990s with books critiquing corporate influence, but in recent years Wolf has become one of the most prominent vaccine deniers and purveyors of #COVID-19 #misinformation — making the ongoing confusion about their identities a source of frustration. “It’s very destabilizing,” says Klein, who still urges people to seriously engage with the dangerous ideas propagated in mirror worlds, rather than simply look away. “It’s so hard to look at the reality that we are in right now, with the overlay of endless wars and #climate disasters and massive inequality. And so, whether we’re making up fantastical conspiracy theories or getting lost in our own reflections, it’s all about not looking at that reality that is only bearable if we get outside our own heads and collectively organize.”
