More of what created the issue in the first place is not going to help at all.
As in you don’t extinguish fire with more fire.

But what is the water/foam/ice that could extinguish the disinformation fire?
Simply put: Common ground.

And this can’t happen if we do not live in the same world.
There is common ground to be found: We all need water, food, a roof over our heads, à reason to get up in the morning. Hope, a future. And a planet.
Not like there’s no common battle that we could unite for.

But we need to take back control of the words. Eg Antifascists are not fascists, but the opposite. There’s a reason disinformation is so focused on branding things their opposite -and in creating factions with their own dialects.

Dialects in themselves are not the issue. Polarisation is. We can work on common goals while acknowledging there can be different paths to get there. That they don’t have to be exclusive. With one basis: no one’s *needs* (not desires) are to be left out

The need to unite against something is basically the story of humanity. Uniting against cancer is fine. Uniting against any group requesting equal rights, a living, a future out of fear there ain’t enough for everyone, isn’t.
Truth is ultimately we are one (diverse) group.

We can -we will- dislike people among this group. We may even hate some of them. But we still need to work together, keeping our nasty feelings and comments to ourselves. Which is fine. You’re free to think whatever you want, but not forced to tell.
A non-aggression pact.

People can’t be reduced to the groups they belong to
We’re more complex than that
We do all need validation tho, otherwise hate&fear rule us
One positive note to end
“But what if the majority of us are hateful idiots?”
“Billions wouldn’t be needed to fund disinfo/divide ops then”
