>Everyone who lived under communism hated the commie propaganda shit. It's not as unpleasant as seeing trannies but it's definitely just as on the nose.
There are true believers. But I think a lot of people see it for what it is. When the Chinese state media tells them some propaganda, I think most people know that it's the state media telling them this -- and I've heard complaints about it, privately, like about how cringe it can be, and it can often be clunky and blazingly on-the-nose so it's hard to miss and it DOES seem like the expression of some dystopian regime. The T.V. address you directly:

And maybe it is a dystopia.

But what might be more disturbing about the United States is that all this is happening too, but it's indirect, so people don't think they're absorbing propaganda all the time. I read something about how 40% of CNN's new hires for their on-air analysts are "former" intelligence agency people. That's obvious to some people depending on where they sit politically, but they might just end up consuming another brand of the same slop. The Democrats and their media outlets are like the Dove brand of shampoo instead of the Old Spice brand. And that might make it more effective.

Like the guy ITT who is like "I would prefer to live in a democracy instead of living in a country where people are repressed and have nationalist movies singing about the glory of the nation beamed at them. Uhh...
