I thoroughly enjoyed your detanglement of the world at large that we meander through on a daily basis of lies and propaganda we buy into.
We are doomed by the rhetoric advertised as truth continuously and pounded in until we just don't give a shit and grab a side just to be on a side without much thought. A fact versus a false fact creates division since the dawn of speech and communication. Both sides lie when it comes to politicians so we balloon up whomever we decide to like and our votes are to punish the other side without the relevance of facts.
Rhetoric has seemingly shifted to new lows of outright lies, bolstered by the ability to more easily broadcast them to so many more people. There is a defense against this, as I outlined above. I would also note that while it may be true that both 'sides' lie, if people pay closer attention to what is being said, and less on the tribe or party of the person who says it, people would tend to make decisions much more favorable to their own interests.
