I would go as far to say that the neoliberal powers of the US was (and still is) the best at propaganda in the entire world (much more so than China and Russia), seeing they were able to win the ideological game for decades while losing at everything else that’s actually tangible (economic development, infrastructure, welfare, etc…)

Yes but to reach level of understanding you need a thought process, which most of the people lack.

Easier to just way CCP=evil without actually contextualizing like the parent comment

Western propaganda uses the carrot while the autocracies of the world use the stick.

Of course the west will win people over easier…
