Whenever any sort of disinformation, fake news and propaganda is discussed I feel like all the talk about it always get's stuck on it's existence. Like "the russians are spreading misinformation in europe" or whatever. Which, sure, they do, how the fuck is there no talk about what to do of it?

Cause the way I see it, there's two options, either there's no more russia or whatever other rivaling hegemonial power follows up, forever, or alternatively you ask the question about why the fuck this shit lands in the first place and make sure it doesn't

Every imperial media outlet would agree that the US blowing up Nord Stream is exactly the sort of "disinformation" that they want to harden their population against. The prevailing concern isn't the accuracy of the information that a population is presented, the concern is who controls access to that information.
