Every time I see westerns post some brainworms 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?

    Yup. Time and effort. Time and effort. Then after that, some more time and effort. Fully escaping the propaganda mind prison is like learning a second language, except there isn’t an app for it. And you can never be sure that you’ve fully reached escape velocity
