The problem is, it’s only possible to know you were lying to yourself about something once the lie has been exposed and realized. The revelation most likely comes from an external source since the human mind is so good and not seeing things that don’t fit into your beliefs.

I’ve just watched the first third of this (original source linked by squirrel) video.
tl;dw This is a great idea: Cory Doctorow explains how
all the countries the US trades with were forced, in their trade agreements with the US under threat of losing the US market, to pass their own digital copyright anti-circumvention laws so that US big tech companies can seek rent and collect the personal data of citizens of those countries with impunity, and
Now that trump has imposed all these tariffs on them and violated the agreements anyway, there is no longer any reason for them to to keep those laws on the books, laws which only hurt their own people and help US tech companies. He explains retaliatory tariffs only hurt their own people, that the best response is for other countries to stop protecting US oligarch and repeal those laws, which will help their own entrepreneurs and citizens, and withhold billions in rent to the US oligarchs.
And that’s just the first third of the video, but I stopped to post this before watching the rest.
