I was in Egypt when people tried to rise up and the USA got involved to make sure a true uprising could occur. Fascinating listening to Egyptians talking to friends and family whilst explaining which bits of the news from Europe and USA were fabricated or slanted. There's always lots of options but you don't know what's going on and quite probably why either. Each side just goes on. "Look Iran funds terrorism" is to ignore Israeli and USA funding things like ISIS. Each side brands their funded groups as the moral ones fighting a just cause. Those doing the funding sip champagne at their victories and get frustrated at their losses but probably from some nice calm villa, out of the way. In the mean time, people discuss and the obvious narrative spinners and paid agitprop accounts fire up on nostr of all places to stir the pot. The protocol has come a long way but every forum will have those who are paid to swing the bat in information war. Web of trust and engagement worthy causes to maintain a good list of blocks and your own personal trust meter rating. PV
