Propaganda doesn’t totally rob people of agency free will (more accurate term), if it did this site wouldn’t exist. People do have the capacity to develop critical thinking, skepticism, and a basic curiosity about the world that allow them to develop some resistance to propaganda.

You can hold people accountable for failing to even attempt to do this.

    You know what maybe you’re right, but I will say I think people should be more consistent if this is the position we’re gonna take. If I see you, or anyone else who gave me shit in this thread, use a term like “burgerbrain” anywhere else on here I’m calling it out.

      I think ur still misinterpreting what im saying, i think u can have burgerbrain and be a burgerbrain but i still think its not necessarily your fault and you have room for rehabilitation. Its like 50% sympathetic and 50% saying ur bad because it has to be that way out of necessity.

      Whats the point of thinking otherwise? Leftists are a minority and were fucked if ur innately a hecking good person or not. I think youre too attached to thinking in things as black or white

      Although, after a certain point if you know what leftism is and you choose to be a liberal after the fact and abandon socialism, you are a bad person. You had everything, you knew the how and why and you chose the wrong thing. I think a lot of politicians and pmc are under this
