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?

    Propaganda isn’t just “brainwashing” you know?

    The goal of the propaganda is to crush the hopes for any possible alternative to the status quo. And the very opposition against the mainstream narrative (counter-establishment narrative) is already built into the system to perpetuate the mainstream narrative itself.

    This site is completely irrelevant to the wider world out there, but if you insist on placing its coordinates within the propaganda framework of the bourgeois establishment, then we serve as the manifestations of “Russian bots” and “CCP shills” to the libs. That’s our “role” in this entire play.
