It has been observed that if you tell a lie enough, people will believe and even good people will start repeating it. Because they are good people, others will believe it as well based upon their credibility.

If constant exposure to misinformation, partial information, shallow observations, and deception will result in people believing false narratives, what will constant exposure to truth do?

It will irritate some; it will cause others to strengthen their position in opposition, but it will convince others.

Whatever the results, it is always right to tell the truth and flood public squares with truth.

Remember that you are not the message, and it is not all about you. It is too easy to get distracted by the need to defend oneself. That is not the point. We are all fallible, but we can all try be and commit to being truth tellers.
