    Dictatorships are built on narratives. To stop them one must break their narrative, which is an iterative process—they’ll change the narrative to explain away new developments, but if you force them to keep making changes faster than their adherents can absorb them, their shared reality will fall apart.

      Ding Ding Ding! This right here. Unfortunately, they say one thing one day, and the opposite the other, and know their followers will latch onto the answer they want to believe/be true. It is exactly how religions work too.

      I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.

        And nothing does that better than video evidence. Fortunately, virtually every cell phone still in existence can record video.

          but the problem now is we are in the age of “ai” & fake videos.

          They will just claim everything is fake (while claiming their own fake videos are real and the only Truth).
