Yeah, I’ll change my wish to I wish people weren’t so susceptible to propaganda, especially the really shallow stuff that falls apart the moment you stop and think about whether it really makes sense (like the old “they hate our freedom” argument).
But then again, if the simple stuff didn’t work, then it would just get more sophisticated and maybe the really dumb propaganda is required to recognize its other forms.
