Living in Germany truly has felt surreal this past week. I guess I just never had to know how propaganda felt. Of course, there always were apparent biases or dominant media narratives. But I always thought "at least it's not as bad as fox news". I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I didn't experience the "falling in line" to be that complete. And that includes all the prominent dissenting voices, totally in line now.
Support for Israel is literal part of the German constitution, going against that gets you on the shitlist real quick. It sucks, but when you step far away from curated media narratives, you'll find plenty people who are critical... In a quiet voice.
