The central point is that you need access to information to determine if a war is wrong and stupid. It is clear how censorship and propaganda can alter perception of who is the the good or bad guy.
And what happens when you can't tell what "information" is true in any reasonable timeframe, making it impossible for normal people (or actually anyone at all) to discern fact from fiction? Tough titty, those people just get to believe misinformation? It's not anyone's responsibility to suppress lies? I will never agree with that position. In a better world, the truth can be identified just by reading carefully. This isn't that world.
Who’s who to decide what’s True and what’s False? No one should be in that position of power, only you.
You want to be taken care of, but your caregivers are wolves in disguise.
Power breeds parasites. Long live anarchy

My sweet summer child...
We crossed that line a long time ago. Everything is already lies and half truths.
Giving one group a monopoly on “truth“ doesn't help.
Every president the US has had have no problem standing in front of the country and telling bold-faced lies
The only way to get any semblance of truth is to pick through the the misinformation from multiple sides.
Having an official narrative and disallowing alternatives only prevents this process
Giving up completely doesn't help either, my sweet summer child. Pretending we can just let anyone say anything unchecked isn't actually a solution, it's a dodge because you don't want to have to trust. There's no way around having trust.
