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.
