Read John Pilger over on Consortium News about Leni Riefenstahl and how her brilliant nazi propaganda depended on a “submissive void” in the German public. If there was ever a class with the “submissive void”, it’s the yuppie class of the last 20years. As Chomsky said, never a group of people more fearful, with less reason than Americans today.
A commie under every bed in the fifties. 😱. Then Gorbachev went to Disneyland and America decided we didn’t mind commies. Then Putin kicked the US oligarchs that were raping Russia after the Soviets collapsed out of his country and we decided that Russia was the bad guy again. Jesus we are a stupid country.
I don't think the US is a stupid country. I think the people who have taken the power are greedy for money and more power. They co-opt their own people and any other people they can manage to co-opt through other greedy, power hungry governing elites.
Water runs downhill and propaganda doesn’t work unless you’re open to it.
And they open you to it by instilling fear if you do not believe their propaganda

Thanks. I also am reading Pilger's article about how the US destroyed Afghanistan because they were afraid of communism.
