Manufactured consent is crazy.
99% of the western media apparatus; including mainstream media, podcasts, social media is captured by right-wing zionists (I consider libs = right-wing by objective definition).
People are completely brainwashed, including (I should say "especially") those who consider themselves "free-thinkers".
They parrot every CIA intel fed to them:
- "In Iran women all wear burqas" 😂
- "Iran destabilizes the middle east" 😂
- "Maduro was a dictator" 😂
- "Muslim brotherhood is a terrorist org" 😂
- "Hamas isn't legitimate" 😂
A small % of people use basic logic to map the definitions used for all these claims (dictator, illegitimacy, terrorist, etc), and realize that these apply to USA & its allies far more; and this small % reject the false information fed to them and seek more reliable, local sources for geopolitical information.
The rest would 100% believe the WMD story during USA's Iraq invasion.
