My first experience with this was the Europa series. It had such amazing info but also so much bullshit that can be is proven with a simple look back at the timeline. Thats when I realised that there are narratives inside narratives inside narratives, and its these narratives derivatives that are the most insiduous, because its not coming from the enemy. Its coming from your trusted sources.
The more I move forward, the more I'm inclined to raise my guard, precisely because of that fact. Confirmation bias is a tricky mistress. I'll go with my biases under certain conditions, but when I see how much bias in general is exploited everywhere, <wariness> becomes my middle name.
