You need to first identify who they are. Follow the money, and you'll see their ties. That's how you defeat them: by starving them of your energy, and not participating in their Roman bread and circuses.
For those unaware of what I'm talking about, there's this thing called energetic participation. You may have heard it said as "predictive programming". This is a technique used in most media today, and to keep it brief, the propagandists tell everyone who watches something with subliminal messaging approved by them what some people will do sometime in the future (using things like numerology, astrology, etc.), and how they want us, the consoomer, to respond appropriately to the problem they'll cause. Gauging the reaction, they'll provide the "solution" that will lead to a worse quality of life than before. They'll do this every single time they want something to make people's lives more miserable than previously.
Case in point: this current talk on digital ID's. Well, first, they create the issue necessary for it (importing poverty and invading a Caucasian-majority country like the UK or US with 3rd world criminals released from their home country's prisons), then they gauge the reaction (calls for the government to fix it), and then, after some time, they provide the fake solution (digital ID's to "stop the invasion", "stop the flippin' terrorists", and "protect the children", all kinds of nonsense like that).
They told us that they would do this in some piece of programming in the past, and we didn't catch onto it, likely because the propagandists didn't want us to notice what they were planning on doing so we could stop them. They don't want us to, and that's the point. This is a simplification of energetic participation, as it's much more nuanced than that.
