I also liked this quote from it:
Most don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, apathetic and afraid, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade their own people to stay out of politics, and above all to convince them that there is no democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong. The democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.
I mean it is a common sentiment that has been measured:

Beyond that if you are insinuating that it is a coordinated campaign of people doing this, I mean yeah that's probably true to some extent. But the reason why they are targeting that is because they know it is a weak point.
So posting an article showing that the cost of living is going down would make that kind of sentiment less justified.
