It’d be akin to whack-a-mole.
All the YouTubers, podcasts, etc.
As well as churches who often preach lies and hate and Q.
And now that every person with a phone is a source of publication.
And anyone can access any kind of news from anywhere around the world.
Look how many years it took Twitter to ban certain people.
And republicans would fight it tooth and nail.

This actresses father is no stupid guy. He is a successful actor on the world stage, with access to any kind of information and news. His fellow Russian and far more successful actor Arnold Schwarzenegger publicly denounced the Russian invasion and calling it out as what it is in a very powerful honest and widely distributed video.

He has chosen fiction, why I do not know. As do many.
Some people are either brainwashed, dumb dumbs, want someone to blame for their shitty life, or to be honest, just plain have an evil side. Or maybe something wrong with their brain.
I don’t see how you can watch a hospital, grade school, bread line, etc….being blown to rubble and conclude that Russia is helping out Ukraines nazis, it’s just plain insane to think that way.

Sociopathy and psychopathy is more common than we know.
Idk what any answers are.
Yeah, we are on the brink of losing our democracy.
We’re living in scary times.

So much time trying to understand these times we are living in seems futile.
