There have always been disinformation campaigns. Ironically, you're probably the victim of one right now - the belief that there is some kind of vast "disinformation campaign" active in the west is a conspiracy theory that is routinely shot down by people who investigate the credibility of such claims in the media (e.g. Taibbi, Greenwald).

Luckily, we can read the articles written by people who investigate claims of vast online disinformation campaigns, and discover they are false. That's because there's not much censorship in the west. We can learn that the mainstream, 'official' narrative is false.

In China you'd never read about any claims that contradict the official narrative. You'd maybe suspect there was something wrong with it, but have no good way to prove it.

BTW I don't know what "stochastic terror" is. But you sound pretty scared. Maybe you've fallen victim to it ;)
