A lot of what the English complain is misinformation about their country circling online is basically what their press and politicians have said about other countries since forever. 

There's something in that, reaping the whirlwind. 

 

That being said, depending on the topic, this is far from an issue that will have consequences for just one nation state.

Obviously there is a deeper work at play and they push the narratives, we are just slaves to higher up if you think about it.

 

Just look at the trans stuff you have got celebs with kids as young as 10 changing there identity this has been pushed by some elites, this shit was not happening 10 years ago

If that's true, then the subversion of truth they're pushing will claim the "elites" as well as everyone else, in the end. They can't hide, as much as they might think they can.

No but I think England is more susceptible because of the language and also a more desirable target because of reasons outlined in my first post.

 

My point is that 'truth decay' is not really anything new. The English press and media arguably pioneered it.

You're certainly right there.

 

I do think both the stakes and consequences are more severe than they've ever been, though.
