    Are all these officials and journalists grandparents? Or are real people still more gullible than you’d hope?

      Real people are gullible in the sense that it’s way easier to notice trouble when it happens to others than when you’re at the center of it.

      The triggers for recognition change alongside perspective so it’s harder to notice something you see as a 3rd person when viewed in 1st person.

      No need for ageism. They’re not grandparents.

      They’re officials, military, journalists, etal. for empire. Ultra-privileged stooges. What else should we expect?
