So, I have a memory of a similar thread where someone was like “why didn’t propaganda reach us?” Which feels like the same thing but more naive.

I think the propagandist understands they are manipulating masses, not individuals, and it probably helps us to think of ourselves as lucky (in a manner of speaking). I freely admit that if I got my degree and a high paying tech job immediately out of uni, my politics would probably be garbage, even though I have nominally the same access to propaganda.

I’ve forgotten what this thread was about. Protest in front of the US Consulate now
