Manufacturing Chaos: Disinformation in the Digital Age

Dr.Docs' Take

This follows the disinformation machine from conflict zones through Brexit, Trump, and the Covid years, showing how a lie built for one war gets recycled for the next argument. The genuinely unsettling thesis is that the goal is often not to make you believe one thing, but to make you believe nothing at all. I appreciate that it resists blaming a single villain, because the machine runs on all of us forwarding things at speed. You will feel self-conscious about your next repost, which is rather the point.
