And let me put an even sharper point on this:

Oppressed people have lived OFTEN with the TOTALITY of formal information coming directly from their oppressors.

And they have STILL fought for liberation, again and again and again.
You know, social media sucks and all, but I am very tired of all this doomer shit I'm seeing everywhere that's like "oh well can't counter social media misinformation, it's too hard, the world is over"

Bad guy domination of mass media is not historically unprecedented. Go build relationships
