    It sounds like you think that everyone is informed near exclusively through propaganda, which is reasonable- by some definitions all information shared between people is propaganda. In that case everyone would be equally influenced by propaganda. I wasn’t using that definition, but I also don’t disagree under it.

      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.
