    Well I trust every Canadian to be able to verify the information they are given. All of these articles are real and you can read them if you want, google is free. The right wing populists are spamming fake information, Postmedia networks churns out hundreds of posts a day. I’ve been fighting disinformation for 2 months none-stop, please just spread the word. SPREAD THE WORD, PP IS A FASCIST

        Well I trust Canadian’s on this weird unknown reddit copy* Any maple MAGA here? Some of these are lost.

        “This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”

        “Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”

        -Hannah Arendt

          It’s not about being able to verify, it’s about the amount of effort to verify. I.e. people are lazy.

          Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived

          This is quite ironic seeing how you’ve posted something that qualifies as “the worst” without any verifiable evidence.

            trying to make it simple since I’ve read literally hundreds and hundreds of articles and publications and documents in the last few months, trying to condense the message. You are intentionally putting your head in the sand

            The most contrarian people are always the ones unable to do simple google searches and do cross examinations. You obviously are a desperate Maple Maga. I’ve linked a lot of documents in this thread, come back when you’ve read them. Or you’re gonna say the next classic cons comeback “I ain’t reading all that”, the pure celebration of stupidity and ignorance

              If you don’t want to follow other people’s suggestions on how to communicate your information better, that’s fine. But insulting people who are just offering friendly suggestions (and explanations) is not ok.

              Despite what you have seem to believe, I actually agree with your post’s general thesis. It doesn’t really matter to me whether you believe that though.
