    poisoned for a large segment of American society after decades of propaganda

    yeah but its not working anymore. that was back in the days when information access was fully controlled by state. now with internet and thousands of talking heads its not possible to control it like that

      It’s changing for certain, but there is still a trained negative response in many Americans.

      From my perspective, its not as strong, especially among younger people, but it’s still there.

      The Internet was a tool for the democratization of information. But with the centralization of platforms, targeted media, and billionaires taking over social media, the Internet is quickly becoming the problem. Propaganda is now personalized and refined to be as effective as possible for each individual.
