There is this riddle with the man walking in the forest with the road going in two different directions.
- This is to demonstrate they there is truth and untruth in this world. Populists and highly ego-centered individuals don’t really understand this. So they keep doing their nonsense believing that their nonsense is the truth. But at the end of the day we’re the group that’s “better informed” if you like. So we must constantly remind them of the realities of this world.
I’m not underestimating the power of being brainwashed by some corporation-controlled media + the brainwashing that is occurring in all these “social media” posts with all of the troll activities etc. But all they these are affecting are the perception of the people viewing them. The reality in this world is not changing when they believe that (for instance) “If the US doesn’t invade Greenland China will do it instead”.
So the key here is patience. And of course, to do things to maintain your own sanity (by not watching Fox-News, not reading the tweets that come from unsafe sources and blocking the social media accounts that you know are troll accounts)
This is still a long path. But it can be done
