Title, I'm a leftist but after reading some things on lemmygrad and here it seems I might have been lied to all my life. I have talked with some people from Cuba and Venezuela (expats) that support the west narrative about poverty and mismanagement. I "believe" that Russia is attacking Ukraine for selfish reasons and that China censors access to foreign information using the Great Firewall, please prove me wrong. Furthermore, it ultimately depends who do you want to believe or there are hard facts from reputable sources that are simply a hidden by the mass media?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your very civil responses. I'll answer as many as I can!

    Every country should set up domestic sites to protect themselves from US surveillance.

    I extrapolated from this, if what you want is non-US, why not create a neutral one insted of a hundred per-nation ones?

          Philosophically speaking, there appears to be an objective, consistent world, but any individual only has their perspective on it and fundamentally cannot escape having just their perspective. There is no such thing as neutrality or objectivity in people short of, perhaps, formalized a-priori systems like mathematics.
