    I think the issue is more that people like propaganda and misinformation as long as they agree with it.

    There just seems to be something about seeing your own opinions coming out of a man in a tie or printed in a large serif font that gives people the same feeling as a cat having its neck scratched.

    And of course, once you hear one of your opinions come out of them, it’s easier to agree with the other ones as well.

      im ok with propaganda as long as its clear that it’s propaganda.

      You know, much like how criminals understand that committing crime is bad, and yet they continue to commit crime. Seems like a rather apt solution IMO.
