My take away from the forum was an appreciation of how our belief systems have been colonized to support the interests of our Neo-liberal oligarchies.  Many of us cannot see any possibilities other than the status-quo beliefs that we are being fed by the media and the authorities.   I have come to understand that  a role of theology is to decolonize our belief system freeing us to face the evidence and truth before us.   It is to do battle with the Neo-liberal  colonizers of our minds.

Social media accounts of well-respected health         professionals are being suppressed and removed. Twitter is even trialing a moderator tool that warns users when they’re about to post “harmful” language, although it’s unclear what the company might deem harmful.1
