It is in fact easy to resist propaganda. You must simply realise that sociopaths (Cluster B disordered; particularly NPD) are speaking to you.
Are sociopaths lying? Easy to tell. Their lips are moving; or their hands are typing.
Sociopaths lie and manipulate constantly and pathologically. They lack the cognitive hardware to act differently.
They will use projection, word salad, false accusations, gaslighting, ridicule, intimidation, whatever they intuitively understand works in the present moment to maintain their "spell".
They do this even when telling the truth would serve their aims more effectively.
They also love bragging - about what they have done or will do - often in a disguised way.
Thus the peculiar, charged quality of what they say and how they say it.
Once you recognise these techniques in real life for what they are - maybe from a family member or colleague - you will realise they work the same all the way up to CEO.
This is because these techniques work on 80% of people. They are mind hacks, or evolutionary advantages that have been selected for. This is because human society is by essence cooperative and thus must run on trust. Questioning everything takes a lot of energy away from more important tasks. Thus a niche appears for the cognitively limited social predators among us.
People with empathy always think that these creatures must have good "reasons" for their behaviour. It is hard to understand how these... legal persons are the so-called "philosophical zombies" in the flesh.
The otherwise absurd conspiracy theory of a race of lizard people lording over us is appealing because it is a superbly effective metaphor.
Imperialism and capitalism are expressions of the mutually supportive organisation of sociopaths in the realm of political economy.
While they are the definition of egoism; they do understand that they MUST support each other; even if they have otherwise violent disagreements. They support each other intuitively and possess little self-awareness. It is an organic flocking together of like-minded mentalities; their "ideology" will change as necessary. Their horizon is international, essential characteristics possess no essential role. Their social power is based on cognitive disability, opposite to what they portray themselves to be (übermenschen) - and they must always have someone to target for domination.
They like saying that human nature is evil. That immorality, competition and corruption is in our DNA. Whether it is one person or a group in charge, that always the power of a few conquer and rule over the weak. The Melian Hypothesis. This is very true - for them.
Hopefully non-sociopathic leaders (insofar as they exist) - realise what they are dealing with.
Sociopaths would rather see the world end than lose control in the present moment. They are really frightened of losing face with other sociopaths. You cannot reason with them as you would other adults.
Ultimately they are cruel children; they respect only adults putting them in their place; in no uncertain terms. Is there an adult in our room?
