The only logical and actionable step is to be simply aware of what is false in a choiceless, objective manner. When you strip away the false, truth simply

With urgent pleas, they claim a vital need, For their firm grasp, to plant a potent seed. They build a wall, of smoke and subtle lies, And claim the right, beneath deceptive ski
