The same way any conspiracy is sussed out. I look at all the information and don’t sensor my sources based on what I believe. Also, I value statistical probabilities in data, and should be from multiple independent sources. Lastly, I don’t ignore institutions that hold up under (legitimate) scrutiny (think science or education). Also, I look for motives of those corporations, world leaders, and belief institutions involved in politics (religion) searching for trends.
I should add, I use the historic record, like (Trump’s corporations and proven past criminality) to establish motive for public individuals currently attempting to sway public perceptions. I don’t just believe their rhetoric simply because it abuses fear with the goal to elicit my allegiance; I look at their track record [when available] and Trump/Putin/other leader’s geopolitical positions are reliable accessible (public/historical) evidence established over time - i stop at gobbling up easily digested corrupted data (see red pill documentaries) that makes information appear historic. Anyone can string together the garbage ideas and ‘questions’ in these shows. They don’t have to prove it..it’s a conspiracy. They’ve targeted people with psychological tactics who don’t understand and/or aren’t willing/able to do the work required of ‘critical thinking’. Don’t doubt that if billions is spent in the marketing industry using sophisticated psychological manipulation in things like tide commercials that it wouldn’t be used everywhere else and especially in political rhetoric. Unlike critical race theory, critical thinking IS a real term and one you would do well to deploy.
