Every time I see westerns post some 
shit the usual response is “well propaganda is a hell of a drug”.
But if western propaganda is really that effective, how the fuck did we get here? I’d think if it was really this good at melting people’s brain’s it’d be effective enough to prevent communities like this from even existing. So like are we special or something?
Also raises the question, if we’re able to get over this BS, wtf is everyone else’s excuse for falling hook-line-and-sinker for it?
The internet really is maybe the most incredible tool for disseminating information since the printing press. Maybe even more so than that, because it easily allows for communities to form around that information (like us).
This is also why I tend to have a soft spot for pre-internet American leftists like Michael Moore and Jesse Jackson, imperfect as they are. They were really trying to do something while there was much less of a left in the US.
