I see lying as institutional laziness on the decade scale.

The propaganda is pervasive enough to not realize its there at all. You shouldn't accuse others of being in their own informational bubble without realizing you're in your own. The desire to disenfranchise is also an extreme authoritarian impulse.

I ask again: in the context of this discussion, what is my propaganda? What am I saying that is untrue? You’re saying a lot of vague lofty statements. Be specific.

Just as well I didn’t do that then!
