Those that are sound of mind enough to conversate productively with their tribal rivals , will find that deliberate deception is a negligible part of their infostream. Practically identical in prevalence to ones own exposure to information, regardless of which "side" it is. What's being observed is actually just the difference in interpretation between those that intrinsically trust authority and those that don't. That one parameter leads to very different conclusions
Decided to check out your Substack after we followed each other on Bluesky. Restacked it. Great article.
So frustrating! Thanks for the Magnet Man. gives me hope!

I love the old Polish story you told me: They (the state) pretends to pay us, & we pretend to work.
