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
I know a guy who fits the latter category to a T. Well, used to. He was into holocaust denial in 2015 and started about half of his sentences with “Well, actually”. No idea what happened to him. He always felt like he got some social currency from being that guy that knows things, despite dropping out of uni multiple times.
I have had people from hexbear link me Hamas press statements lol. The propaganda is very active from every angle in this situation (although obviously western mass media has the greatest effect) and so many people are gobbling up straight garbage lol.
