    In some countries, there is full-on state-run media and people have little choice but to be subjected to ridiculous propaganda. Here, we have a lot of people that actively seek out hot garbage for their sources of “news”, and consume it 24/7.

      I think this is what makes our propaganda machine the most affective one in the world. China and Russia beat their citizens into submission, while the US breeds true believers from birth and use them to beat the rest of the population into submission so affectively the non-believers can’t fight the ruling class because their hands are tied fighting with the cult of self-imposed calamity.
