  • I think the larger the scale of something or the farther away from someone it happened, the more susceptible that person is to propaganda about it. Its why we think china is a third world country, and that america is a peace keeping force in the world.

    Its a lot harder to put out propaganda about my extended family, because I’m actually a better source for information in that case due to proximity.

    I guess I just mainly dont like the overconfidence people display, we still know so little about human limitations on a societal scale it seems.


  • The problem is this is all secondhand information. People have to trust something, which makes them susceptible to being manipulated. Some people choose to trust noone and others try to take in all sides and assume the truth is in the middle. Everyones acting on faith.

    The point I’m making is that both sides seem to spend a lot of time arguing over each others propaganda, which is a huge waste of time. No understanding is furthered and no problem is identified or solved.
