Well, truth is boring, isn't it?

Would you otherwise prefer to read Russian propaganda speaking of German authorities policing Germans of Russian heritage? Because that's exactly what they are currently doing.

0 facts, amazing opinionated narrative in multi-paragraph form. Pictures on top of that. But that definitely sounds more fun. Moreover - that sort of narrative is way closer to the general sentiment of the working classes who are generally predisposed towards learning about how "the Man" is taking advantage of them in the first place.

I can't be so boring it leads to complete apathy. Unless you are a computer, there's a limit to the boredom you can take.

Would you rather be bored or manipulated by the foreign propaganda machine?
