Oh no… I’ve believed the propaganda uncritically for most of my life and am just now realising how absurd it was to ever trust the establishment’s narrative.

Idk, I think it’s normal to believe proaganda. We all do, and sometimes it’s even true. I’m just commenting on it because I’m so used to automatically criticising the mainstream message, so I’m usually on the other side of this discussion. But for a long time I worried about viruses from piracy, but it only just dawned on me that I am now far less afraid of that than of corporate proprietary spyware.
It never occurred to me before that of course the pirates are more trustworthy, they always have been. The mainstream propaganda is so pervasive that it’s going to leave little bits stuck in your mind for a long time.

I’m still wary of some pirated content, but when using the right trackers, that fear basically disappears.
