I've recently learned that American Zoomers love to learn about politics, science, and history through YouTube videos. Kurzgesagt, CGP Grey, and many other capitalist funded trash
I've told a friend about France receiving billions in payments from "former colonies" for their "independence" every year and their first instinct was to search up a YouTube video in front of me to learn more while I was trying to Google for a primary source of the hard financial data and agreements signed
People were lecturing me about how Putin thinks and will act based on videos they've seen from CGP Grey (like Rules for Rulers LOL). As if a man like Putin can be so easily understood and predicted from a dumb tech bro who watched an 8 minute cartoon yt video, especially given the context that he is the leader of such an enormous country like Russia
I am completely serious when I say Americans are as propaganised as they think northern Koreans are
Maybe even moreso because they believe the average North Korean is held at gunpoint to accept everything. Americans will get angry if their propaganda isn't nationalistic enough.
So much of the American attitude towards NK amounts to "What if they're doing the stuff we do to our people, but they say the Atheist Communist Orientalist Thing rather than the Correct Thing."
