I'm tired

I think a good tool against this could be to have an international nonprofit organization of investigative journalists, OSINT experts, and detectives (and experts in seeing through AI abuse and other fraudulent media behaviour, and as soon as they build reputation they would need damn good lawyers too). They would act as a fast-response crack-team to look under the covers every time any powers-that-be launch a news cycle chaos-offensive (which sadly these days is "all the time"). Not just as a side-hustle or section of a general publication, but as its own non-profit-beholden organisation dedicated to that task.

They would follow the timings and run contextual pattern recognition on all the big/fishy "look over here" announcements (or character hit-pieces attacking the credibility of people sharing uncomfortable or explosive information). Their explicit goal though would be surfacing the most promising other stories that are being buried, combine and tug on those threads to discover what kind of meta-stories and deeper narratives are being lost in the "manufactured mainstream" noise, and provide announcements/advice/guidance to other journalists and reporters on what to do next with those. They would need to all be highly experienced and disciplined expert investigators of impeccable integrity to provide adequate mental-vaccination against risks of sliding into conspiracy-hypothesising tin-hat territory due to the nature of the work.

In addition to the obligatory website for people to discover and learn about them, they could provide a non-paywalled RSS stream of their findings, tongue-in-cheek naming it "While you were out", maybe with a sister podcast discussing their findings called "Excuse me, I think you dropped this".

Seconded. Limit your screentime and filter out any communities and social media that seem like a broken record. Energy is a must if the 50501 movement is going to continue.
