Maybe what you read about Putin's renewed popularity is itself
disinformation. Yesterday I was reading the opposite from another
(dis)information source.
There are no technical solutions to the veritas problem.
You can't task or pay someone else to solve this problem.
But what you can do is promote truth - as a moral principle. And doing
so as a strong principle requires a HUGE HUGE effort in these
times. In a world where deception makes money, and money is our god,
it's hard to live an hour without hypocritically feeding the machinery
of profitable lies. Even your post, made in good faith and sincerity
has unwittingly spread the (probable) falsehood about Putin. And this
reply of mine probably adds to the fire in some unseen (by me) way.
This has to come right from your soul and sometimes requires a
vicious and merciless honesty. You will not be popular or liked.
- arisAlexis 5y agoIn which way my post spread some falsehood about Putin?
- nonrandomstring 5y agoBy accident. Because you don't know if its's true. And by posting it as "something you've read somewhere" you spread that idea. Yesterday I was reading the opposite (From GCHQ; that Putin's standing is wavering in the face of internal political tension). At least one of us is propagating untrue information. Ergo; Maybe - what you read about Putin's renewed popularity is itself disinformation. Does that make sense? It's not an _accusation_ or criticism, it's a quasi-logical statement about the information in general. respects
- arisAlexis 5y agoYes it does, I'm not sure about this information either good point. That's why we need to spread only factual info to oppressed people somehow. Cheers
