How does one keep sanity when everyone around you is parroting propaganda? (lemmygrad.ml)

Hi, There are many people I know and also many comment sections I see online that are just parroting Israeli and US state department propaganda and I feel like it is driving me insane. They seem to repeat arguments using almost every common propaganda technique available and it seems like the majority of people is just falling for it without any critical thinking and this is depressing as hell.

They are portraying fascism as the only solution to all problems and as a justified position but don't even want to name it as such, saying everyone else is the fascist.

I think I am going mad what should I do, I feel like arguing against it is like speaking to a wall most of the time.

my secret? i can't keep my sanity together lol

like i know that the liberals in my life will be like that due to propaganda, and that trying to help them when they do not even feel like they want to change is like trying to tell a donkey to take a shit in the urinal

anger doesn't help me, and trying to help libs is the sure-fire way to piss me off
