Society will never stop trying to wrap a big fuzzy one size fits all blanket around everyone’s thoughts. We intentionally manipulate biology that religion stumbled upon.
A philosophy of “oh well there is this separation of powers written down on paper” does not stop graft, nepotism. Tribalism is innate to human biology; words on paper don’t just shut our bodies innate traits off. Thinking a law prevents intentional propagandizing is quaint and naive. They just call the same behavior and mechanics “behavioral economics” and viola; it may have all the mechanics of propaganda, but trust us, it’s not propaganda.
