What exactly are you 'agreeing' with?
The primary message of that point is that the information coming to us, from any side, is significantly filtered, sometimes altered doctored and fabricated, and so it's hard / impossible to put your full trust in anything you hear.
But, it is much simpler, easier, and even possible when one does not have a "one-sided" view nor perspective, like for example “accelafine“ very clearly has.
In other words when one is Truly open, then differentiating between what is just False and propaganda from want is actually True and Right, in any of your human being opposing views and beliefs is not just possible but actually Truly a very simple and easy thing to do.
But, if you want to believe, absolutely, otherwise, then by all means continue to do so.
Just remember, though, unlike 'me', it will be very hard/impossible for you to put your full trust in any thing you hear.

I mean there are still a handful of what I think are effectively universally agreed facts, but there's enough bullshit in the fog of war that it is a genuine challenge to make a complete rational assessment of the situation.
Why, exactly, can you not just make a complete rational assessment of the situation?
Obviously if you already know that so-called “bullshit“ exists, are you informing the readers that it, really, is hard, for 'you' anyway, to separate what is actually True from what is not?
If yes, then this is a flaw or fault in the cognitive thinking within that body, and not because of anything else.
Continually 'tying to' blame something else for your own lack of 'critical thinking and seeing' skills will never help 'you' progress and become better.

Now obviously some people won't feel that way, but is that because they've managed to see through the fog of war somehow, or because the propaganda they consume has been effective enough to convince them they can see through it?
This can be and is answered very simply and easily by if one has a "one-sided" view and perspective of things, or, if they have a Truly open view and perspective of things.
And, to recognise and know 'this', for sure, then 'this' can be recognized, and seen, in 'the actual words' one uses and presents and in what was actually meant and intended.
Now, for example, one just has to 'look at' the 'actual words' "accelafine" uses, and what ’that one' has actually meant, and intended, to recognize, and see, that 'that one' could not present a more clearer case and example of one who is Truly “one-sided" and blinded by its "one-sidedness".
Whereas there is not a single word in what I have said, written, meant, and intended, here, which could even be considered anywhere close to be any thing other than open, not absolutely anywhere near being close to being "one-sided".
However, and obviously, those like "accelafine" who are very clearly "one-sided", here, will believe and see otherwise. But, again, this is just because they have been and continually are, literally, being blinded by their closed or "one-sided" views and perspectives.
And, how I have already confirmed, proved, and/or verified this was by just asking clarifying questions, from a Truly open perspective, as shown above, here, and in the ’very words’ that I have used and expressed, here. Not just in this thread but in this whole forum.

I think it's the latter for any civilian - if you're convinced you can see through the fog of war here, you're probably a victim of propaganda.
Thinking or believing one has already seen through the so-called ’fog’, without having 'this view’ ’looked at’, and checked, by others is is very foolish thing to do. But also thinking or believing that it is hard or impossible to see through the 'fog' is also a very foolish thing to do.
