Everytime I see such a thread, I wonder how many subcommunities there are on hn.
Unless you suffer from a very strong case of Gell-Mann amnesia,
I don't see how it is possible to be aware of such efforts and then not question any of the ongoing narratives.
The narratives are getting worse and worse as time goes, and so we see the consensus-engineering shifting away from the narratives themselves to polarization.
So instead of believing in your narrative, you reject the others because "they are embraced by bad people who also embrace other bad narratives".
The different government programs to make people unable to distinguish disinformation and propaganda etc are also well-known around.
How it is possible to constantly see discussed some of the egregious things that were done during Vietnam, Iraq, and then see as much blind faith in the moral good of going into new conflicts?
