One of Propagandas goals is to get you to give up. Uncovering truths and doing research is heard according to Josh Johnson, if it was easy more of us would do it instead of watching memes. Propaganda is designed to flood you with so much crap that you question everything and then give up looking for the truth because its hard. Ai has not helped this.
Propaganda is designed to flood you with so much crap that…
… that you [in the current form of propaganda] start to believe the truth is unknowable, because of all the lies in all directions at once. This primes you to give up [on truth and democracy], and seek a totalitarian/fascist strongman to save you.
Carry on questioning everything. Cannot have a fully informed public without educated minds. The mark of an educated mind is the ability to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting nor rejecting it.
Deploying non-belief may decouple you from susceptibility to such psyop propaganda.
We can still mend this.
(Also +1 Josh Johnson, probably my fave comedian these days.).
It wasn’t poor phrasing, friend. It’s exactly correct.
People absolutely give up. They give up because the truth is depressing and the lies are depressing and it’s exhausting trying to police our politicians’ corruptions and the media is complicit and it all seems hopeless.
It’s easier to just put your head in the sand until trouble knocks on your door. And the sad truth is that people will continue to eat shit until there’s nothing left to eat at all. Only then, when they are hungry and cold and scared, will they finally stand up and be angry.

Why the second part?
Why not just remain questioning everything?

Probably just poor phrasing on my part.
The video I posted goes into more about how propaganda in the form of flooding you with to much info works and the problems that AI is adding to it.
