Oh my God tell me about it. Its so frustrating when my lefty liberal friends on Facebook so arrogantly believe they are genuinely fact checking me by sources that are just mainstream media articles.
I just facepalm and try and get them to even entertain different ideas and trt sticking to logical proofs.
But the cognitive dissonance is SO strong. I tried explaining recently that "right wing propaganda" does not exist since the viewer is actively seeking information that's strictly outside the bubble of legacy media sources.
Whereas "left wing propaganda" DOES exist because it permeates through the television sets, newspapers, laptop screens and phone screens of every single person regardless of what their beliefs are.
So the mainstream media propaganda makes its way to the observer without any energy on their part, whereas the things I believe from non-mainstream media sources require me to actively search and filter through and expend energy to find.
You would think I would at least receive acknowledgement of my argument being sound. Instead I get scoffed at and told that its astonishing that I refuse to come back to reality...
This is why they need a bucket of cold water to the face. Obama giving his confession on live TV and being hung should do it. It really upsets me to have friends who STILL know so little about Obama's true character that they praise him and call him "perfect" or the "most loved President".
Yup. Gonna be a rude awakening for a whole lotta people.
I figure this is my test from God. To be patient with the willfully ignorant. To forgive those who would call me a domestic terrorist. To have mercy on those who are stuck in the lower frequencies of fear and hatred.
And to keep trying to wake them up.
I think I would disagree: there definitely is "right-wing propaganda".
But I think you're making a different point - one that "normies" definitely don't understand - that propaganda is most dangerous for the passive consumer.
If you take a passive posture in an information war - your own biases can be exploited from the Right or the Left.
Fair point. What would be some examples of right wing propaganda then? I just refuse to think I'm being brainwashed since I've already had my "oh fuck that I was being manipulated into believing and feeling a certain way this whole time" moment. Back when the first impeachment trial unraveled, fell apart and the Russia hoax was exposed.
That was the first redpill for me.
First off - we all celebrate your liberation.
My remark was meant to help you when you get into a debate with a friend who hasn't been red-pilled. If you say something like 'right wing propaganda doesn't exist' - you're not going to get through to someone who thinks that the entire MAGA movement is only the result of right-wing propaganda. They are wrong of course. But they won't hear anything you have to say - if you take that position. Like black people claiming it's impossible for black people to be racist. Would you be interested in any of that person's views about racism? Nope.
But if you recognize that propaganda as a concept that does not favor any particular ideology. It is just a tool for mass manipulation. And bad people use propaganda from both extreme political sides. Then you can engage in a deeper debate with your friends.
Take weed for example - most people are pretty misinformed about marijuana due to right-wing propaganda from back in the '50s. Does that mean conservatives are wrong and libs are right? Nope.
The truth is somewhere in the middle - weed was legal before it was illegal. Like alcohol. Nobody takes the position that drinking alcohol is a net positive for your health or even for the society. But we favor liberty before government regulation, bans and control. So it is logical for conservatives to be pro-legalized weed.
Enjoy your journey into the great world of truth.
That's very helpful and well stated. Thanks buddy
