    By “propaganda” I mean lies and manipulation. By definition you can’t consent to that.

      I think they probably have a dull little voice in the back of their head that they do their best to starve and keep locked in a little prison cell that tells them they shouldn’t believe what they’re seeing/hearing, and they ignore the voice and keep consuming Faux News etc.

        Propaganda is self reinforced as much as it is externally reinforced, it’s a lot like a barbed arrow that dogs in the more you try to remove it. Sure there are some who can just rip it out with raw willpower, but most victims require anothers help. Problem is most don’t see themselves as a victim of propaganda.

          It doesn’t get better by killing firefighters. There is absolutely a small set of horrible people that the world would be much, much, much better off without.
