> Legitimately wonder. How can any of it be trusted anymore?

Everything is a lie and everyone lies is literally major part of ruzzian propaganda and brainwashing.

Im saying this, not to accuse you of spreading ruzzian propaganda, but to put it into perspective.

If you succumb to such thinking you are doomed. You have to critically pick whats trustable and try to verify it. Check the institutions record. Think about motives. Think who profits.
