"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Haven't read a lot of text, but I've tried exploring around ideologies related to syndicalism. Also read some of the essays by @[email protected].

For now, I want to figure out a way to get a job in this brutal recession. I'm not thinking of joining political parties for now, because without basic necessities and needs, I'm basically handicapped. With just ₹7k in my account from my previous job, graduated-but-unemployed, and living with my parents, there's not a lot of stuff I can do.

Maybe if it's activism related to using my technical skills for union organization and labor's right awareness, then I think I could be a part of that - perhaps, I could also make a living out of that, but I'd have to figure out a way to monetize that, and also need a team of folks from law and media. After reading the blog by Paul Biggar, I'm reconsidering the above idea.
