It helps a lot that we still have fairly unbiased mainstream news media sources, and solid institutions that are holding the foreign and oligarchy attempts at subverting them.
But they are being eroded, over time, step by step. Bot/propaganda accounts in social media that normalize extremist views, corporate takeovers and acquisition of media, financing of political far-right parties, etc.
Honestly the only possibility I see is if Trump/Musk fuck us over so badly that everyone realizes what’s going on and unite against it, kinda like Canada did when threatened by tariffs.
Unfortunately, many people in Europe are still on Facebook and they’re being fed with Russian-backed propaganda.
We’ve seen it during COVID, how many people thought that the vaccines were bad and dangerous? That’s because they’ve been reading misinformation on Facebook.
We still have mainstream media sources, but we should tackle the problem before it’s too late.
