Do you think Americans are brainwashed by their government?

[VanillaSalt]

I’m American and I believe Americans are brainwashed

I’m foreign and I believe Americans are brainwashed

I’m American and I believe Americans are not brainwashed

Propaganda is generally distributed by commercial media. Commercial media for the most part is in the hands of five companies which are all controlled by billionaire oligarchs. Obama gutted laws that dealt with using propaganda on the American public when he was in office and since them they have been going full force with it. CIA and FBI tactics are now utilized by the media on the American public. Technically the attack on America started back in 1995, but Obama escalated it at an alarming rate.

It is a combination of the democrats, the fake news media and big teach companies like Twitter that censor conservative viewpoints. The comparison of American free speech with Putin's Russia has been really something that should make every American angry.

[VanillaSalt]

Your think conservatives arnt brainwashed?

[exitseven]

Maybe some are but there are not many conservative voices out there and Twitter and Google censor anybody who is not pushing their narrative.

[VanillaSalt]

Fox News isn't pushing for war with Russia?

[exitseven]

No, I think they want Biden to get us back to energy independence again though.

[VanillaSalt]

Hum I’ve seen a lot of pushes on fox for no fly zones which are de facto declarations of war.

[exitseven]

no, I think most people wanted Biden to get behind giving those 29 MIGs from Poland to the Ukrainians.

[VanillaSalt]

Stupid thing is the IFs… IF Biden didn’t dangle NATO in front of Zelenskyy… IF Zelenskyy didn’t insist on joining NATO… IF NATO just said no to Ukraine joining NATO… IF NATO looked into Ukraine killing Russians in the Donbas… IF Ukraine agreed to peace instead of chasing NATO and the EU. And do many other ways he could've ended this.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[VanillaSalt]

Even though your views are one sided and I feel applies to both sides rather equally you seemed to understand.

[lrina]

not any more brainwashed than the rest of the world.

[VanillaSalt]

So if your just as brainwashed as the other guy are you both brainwashed or neither?

[lrina]

it really depends what exactly we're talking about

[VanillaSalt]

Look child your either brainwashed or your not. If you wanna elaborate then elaborate… the least productive thing you can say is maybe maybe not or it depends…

[lrina]

@VanillaSalt relax lmao. and just because someone may have a bit of a brainwashed opinion, doesn't mean that the entire person is brainwashed, if that makes sense.

[VanillaSalt]

Makes perfect sense.

[JesseJayNeak]

Not all but mostly the ones from the Left

[VanillaSalt]

So you don’t think conservatives are brainwashed into reacting in stupid ways for instance it was a Republican senator Lindsay Graham that called for the assassination of a head of state…

This never woulda been allowed 20 years ago from either side.

[JesseJayNeak]

Just because I don’t mention them doesn’t mean I don’t think that too. Plus, democrats are more vocal about it

[VanillaSalt]

By mentioning one side specifically it looks as though your saying it’s a problem unique to that side.

[JesseJayNeak]

True

[globetrotter22]

Some are but some aren’t.

[Jamie05rhs]

No, but they're brainwashed by television.

[NorthwestRider]

The MAGA cult members are for sure brainwashed

[VanillaSalt]

But not the democrats or lefties right

[Sabretooth]

no straight answer. some are and some aren't.

[jahaims]

Most are
