I’m sorry. I failed to understand how deeply the Western propaganda machine is embedded within all that we consider “news” and uncritically believed the AP article because it “seemed true” i.e. confirmed my biases.

Then I got pressed and malded in the comments, when called out.

Thank you for education me. I have some serious learning to do.

Special thanks (and apology) to @Awoo @kristina @American_Communist22 and everyone else who engaged with me over multiple comments. Sorry for being so thick-headed. I’ll do better in the future.

    Thanks for the lecture link! I've seen most of what is on YT, but some of these names are new to me!

    And uhhh which Thomas Frank book? I just looked at his wikipedia page and don't remember talking about him at all, but my memory is also dogshit.
