    Former far-right autist here, while most propaganda does not work on us, empathy manipulation is way more apparent. I legitimately believed abortion killed little babies, because very big scary numbers. I feared that some people might regret a homosexual lifestyle, and by the age of 40 they realize they actually wanted a big family.

    But as people were way too gloating about the suffering of others, especially things I was told were “mandatory evils”, I typed “Jewish conspiracy disproved” into Google, and after going through a few pages of SEO spam there by antisemites, I found some way out.

    One another propaganda that works surprisingly well is through special interests. Ever wonder why fascists push the “woke propaganda” conspiracy theory in geek circles?
