i feel most alternative media has become an amplifier of the worst case imaginable. in that sense they do the gang's job of fear-mongering way more effectively than the legacy media who have lost credibility even in the eyes of the masses. people in alternative media generally believe fully in what they are publicizing and it comes across as genuine to people. it might be one of the main reasons the gang has "given" the internet to people. many learned a lot, but so many narratives can be more effectively controlled through authentic and genuine pundits who are unaware of their role in the publicizing of false, system-entrenching ideas.

there is good reason to reject the entirety of "alternative" views on covid for instance because those stances fully ignore the scientific basis of the claim, much like the official narrative does. namely that there are such things as pathogens or even human cells. i am not certain any longer and will not take it for granted.

the pattern should be familiar now: make an official claim and limit the borders of discussion with the equally false "truther" narrative to encompass a planned playing field of discourse. i always raise an eyebrow when i find the commonality of both allegedly opposite views, and thus find the real agenda, i.e. which core concept (faith) is to be fortified in the public mind.

by that we can also find the more likely answers, though to be fair i get the feeling that even those are merely damage control views on the gang's part for those smart enough the to see through both lies. not sure it is possible to discern the objective truth through linear mind logic alone these days.

the truth has been fenced off carefully to an incredibly impressive degree.

and, i agree: community will trump everything. experience counts above all else. keeping an open mind and exchanging energy, thoughts and helpful deeds with those resonant to our own path in life seems indeed the best way forward. sharing is caring, and there will be a whole lot of that one way or another.

blessings dude!
