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?

    There aren’t very many of us. There are always going to be weirdos and outliers and mystics who have stared in to the eye of the demiurge.

    There,s like a billion people in the West. Hexbear has 1k active users. And most other self identified leftists think we’re evil tankies because we don’t love NATO.
