(5,763 posts)And I'm retracting everything I've said in my previous messages.
I am aware of the ubiquity of propaganda. I am a skeptic and don't admire this economic system. I know the ruling class effectively controls the information. Still I fell for the lie. Why? Effort takes time. I don't have any. About that, I am 100 percent informed, and you are not, so, don't even argue it isn't true. It's why a lot of people will fall for it. There is a default, since I don't have the information, and I don't have time to dig it up and read. I take whatever fragmentary evidence I can from a source I trust. I gave my source. Thank you for correcting me, thank you for the sources which I will bookmark.
And I thank you through my teeth despite the fact that you called me stupid. So, that will be the last deferential thing I say to you, because I hate your arrogant guts.
Unlike propaganda, you make the correct information nauseating to read and odious to accept. Conceit is no way to impart facts. I don't care how good they are. Especially when you admit facts are losing to the pull of propaganda, for which everyone is vulnerable. You know this, but you act like a prick with what you know anyway. This is malpractice. With all your knowledge, you're making yourself a liability to your cause. Should I say to our cause? I really don't want to.
The pricklier you make the message, the less likely it is to ever overcome propaganda. I can almost admire that you're informed, and you have the time, skills and resources to do it. Almost, because I think perhaps the fact that you're an accessory to killing off the knowledge you have should give you pause. I might have muddled the knowledge. You waste most our effort when you open your mouth or touch a keyboard.
And I'm so heart-warmed to know that your time was probably worthwhile but only if I'm young and innocent. Join Douchebags Anonymous already, before you alienate too many liberal progressives. You make listening to Limbaugh too easy.
