You've been eating nothing much but propaganda for a while now. Its no secret the government has high level agents employed in high position at all those firms too... and the most effective propaganda is not the propaganda you dont realise is propaganda like black hawk down. Its propaganda that you actually pay to consume as news or entertainment.

Add to the info-sphere of propaganda all of the corperate advertising, which is just another form of consumptive based propaganda, lobbying or propogandists tailored specifically for the politicians, and education that is memory and recall focused rather than logic and critical thinking? And you've got a psychic reality that is nothing but propaganda going on really in every aspect of society, institution, age and demographic. Its the worst on the planet by far - simply because Americans dont even believe they are impacted by propaganda. In fact theyll double down on alternative facts and shout down anyone rational as the ones spewing bullshit.

sure, foreign governments try to influence you, but their influence is a drop in the ocean compared to your own government and corporations.

The fact that you believe differently is due to propaganda from your own government and corporations.

Agreed. But would include community and culture in there too

Community and culture don't have the same agenda that the government and the corporations have.

Baudelaire originally, but these days Keyser Söze:

That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
