>Unlike the west, where most people still believe the official narratives.

Tell me what these narratives are. I do not disagree, but I am a westerner who never left home.

We (the west) are the force of good, spreading democracy and freedom around the world.

And our socio-economic system is the best there can be, don't even think about changing anything about it (questioning this is a total taboo).

		That's not even the official narrative. The official narrative, is that we the West have a democracy by historic accident and bring war and slavery to the rest of the world seeking for cheap oil and other resources. But this is fine, because if we wouldn't extort them someone else would. And of course everyone is free to choose their situation, so they could just leave. But please don't become an immigrant here, because then you take our taxes and pensions, because we don't allow you to work, because then you would eventually get voting rights. But all these problems are far away and actually only the concern of their countries, we have no part in it, we just do our big money game. The people distrusting the official narrative, think that we don't actually live in a democracy an there is an elite in power who just keeps this as there facade.
