idk man, it just seems like a no-brainer that the easiest solution to combat 'propaganda' lies in education, in media literacy. being able to identify propaganda and understand how it is used, where to find it, what its goals are, whether it's good or bad isn't even difficult with just a little bit of emphasis and focus on it in education.

so it would seem, the simplest solution and the most long-lasting and effective tool to fight 'foreign propaganda' is to educate citizens, to have an informed public, and to allow consistent (and free!!) access to information while doing so.

but of course if us americans finally figured out how to recognize propaganda in their silly social media apps, the us government would have a real problem on their hands wouldn't they?

and this goes beyond party lines btw. everyone does this shit and we would all be better off if everyone knew how to recognize it when it happened

the most annoying but also most crucial part of recovery/healing is that it really doesn't matter how justified you are in being upset at one person, a group of people, or whatever/whoever has done you wrong in the past, it is still your responsibility to heal that and do that recovery. those people who hurt you? it's not their job to fix what they did to you. it's not their job to apologize, it just isn't. whether or not they should is irrelevant. arguing that you're allowed to hate that person, that group of people isn't going to fix you, it isn't going to heal you. and you'll lose more than just the person who hurt you if you don't heal.

would you rather be right or happy?

there is some produce company that has a storage lot for it's delivery trucks that is at least adjacent to the local gayborhood and their trucks say the words "every fruit has a story" and i just feel like someone should be capitalizing on how fucking funny that is and do fun little pieces about some gays in the hood and the things they're getting up to idk

idk. if i’d been super shitty to a person, i think if i returned to the same circles as them, i’d simply?? leave them alone instead of announcing my presence.
