It seems like there is some serious disinformation/psych ops working overtime across the internet right now; the tone is weirdly hostile. I would hope people would question the motivation of obviously divisive rhetoric, but it's clear that is a resounding no. As they say, people always buy with their emotions.

I'm afraid the days of an open internet are quickly closing.

I think one of the main goals of disinformation is to make us dehumanize others. To believe that they are super powerful evil beings or good but weak beings.

So I think one of the best strategies is to remember that we are all humans who ultimately have no idea what we're doing. We are powerful and weak, and mostly hurting other people because we hurt ourselves.

At least believing this seems to help me, maybe it will help some of y'all.
