47% are extremely susceptible to disinformation echo chambers.
The rich have eroded academic institutions and flooded the airwaves, muddying the waters of reality that only those with time and strong critical-thinking skills can parse.
Put another way: if I was a psychopathic piece of shit I’d know that a dumb electorate is easier to grift and control. So I’d make sure they stay confused, ignorant, and apathetic.
Have you heard of the Russian disinformation genius Surkov? His tactic is to confuse people so they don’t know true from flase, wrong from right etc and get apathetic and defeatist.
That’s related to Survok Theater, right? Between Dugin and him, the Russian propaganda tactics being used read like an open book. We see the game being played but what are some possible solutions? Must we hope people learn their lesson in the collapse to come?
Keep an eye on the different ones. I got a sub to Proton Plus for like $3/mon at Thanksgiving time. Plenty of others out there have great deals every once in a while. I hadn’t used a personal VPN for a while, but at this point I see no difference between my non-VPN speeds and speeds when connected.
Obviously you have to extend some trust to any VPN, but them being Swiss (nationally no obligation to provide logs to anyone, anywhere) and having a strict no-logs policy was attractive to me. Sure, they might be full of shit on those claims, but anyone else might be too.
I can’t bring myself to listen to or read right wing media for even a second. Anyone that claims Trump is doing a good job will make me fly into a Hulk-like rage.

Bummer, I can’t watch that from here in the US. I’ve been slacking on getting a VPN…
Been wanting to watch the later seasons of The Rise of Nazis, too.
