        That post took the thesis of Masses, Elites, and Rebels and warped it to the point it became dumb. It'd be like reading Oppose Book Worship and coming to the conclusion that you should never read theory.

                    So, I have a memory of a similar thread where someone was like "why didn't propaganda reach us?" Which feels like the same thing but more naive.

                    I think the propagandist understands they are manipulating masses, not individuals, and it probably helps us to think of ourselves as lucky (in a manner of speaking). I freely admit that if I got my degree and a high paying tech job immediately out of uni, my politics would probably be garbage, even though I have nominally the same access to propaganda.

                    I've forgotten what this thread was about. Protest in front of the US Consulate now
