Ahhh, I’m on mobile and my translate is shit. I mean I could have told you there were tons of American feds on reddit lol, I used it for like a decade. Glad there’s some evidence though, thanks for the links!
the problem seems to be that most people are aware that they’re exposing themselves to a platform that they know contains propaganda, but believe that they’re immune/resistant to it nonetheless – no one is.
The bigger thing to me is people thinking propaganda is just “one thing” - Like a specific type of post on lemmy. Propaganda is everywhere, the western cultural apparatus exists to reinforce itself and justify imperialism.
Oh absolutely. I couldn’t agree more. Also the difficulty in doing a 180 on a sincerely held belief is extremely difficult, especially when the propaganda is so thick.
it doesn’t feel very thick to me since a simple 30 second google search would easily dispel most of it – instead it feels pervasive since you end up getting it from EVERYWHERE.

Yeah I guess thick was the wrong word. Pervasive is probably closer to what I was looking for lol.
