I skimmed through the PDF about germany and found this interesting bit

>This [federal competition] has repeatedly served as an excuse to engage in ruinous intra-German ‘tax wars’ for lax enforcement, auditing and the hiring and staffing of local tax authorities.6

which i never heard of. So i check the source and got got redirected to just an image.

>http://www.taxjustice.net/topics/race-to-the-bottom/tax-wars...

Some of the listed sources there (https://fsi.taxjustice.net/PDF/Germany.pdf) are broken but not all, some do link to actual credible thrid parties.

>They do not think for themselves rather their idiot media machine controls them!

Everyone ultimately has to rely on authorities about subjects. From parents to scientist. It's a dilemma, you can't know/research everything your self but you also shouldn't trust blindy everything you get told, so there is no final solution.

The only thing you can do is never stop questioning, falsify everything, don't deem anything above it as sacred. This way, you will collect a shifting world view from all sources.

If you don't engage with your news channels, if you don't question in a meaningful way, if you discredit whole groups of outlets just by virtue, you have surrendered.
