The most successful political propaganda in our time was convincing millions of people that caring for others and the planet was somehow a threat to America.

    Yeah… it fucking sucks. I didn’t even realize how much propaganda I had internalized, since like, birth? Didn’t know “neo-liberal” was even a thing. Looking back, it’s just kinda like, “damn. Most of my beliefs aren’t even of me?”. The cognitive dissonance was loud

    But, on the up & up, I now get to build beliefs that are of me, rather than for me… so that’s cool

      Yeah, deprogramming takes a while too with the intense level of propaganda. Realizing that the “left” they say in the media and such refers to neo-liberalism and not actual leftist policies or politics. It’s all purposely obsfucated to keep us in that vacuum.
