    It is the same logic as the person earlier today in this very thread who told me mainlanders only support the government because we “do not know any better.”

    Usually these same people are oblivious to the propaganda they swim in, but have a dissenting viewpoint and you’re the paid agitator.

    Propaganda is only taught in elite universities because only future mandarins of public opinion are supposed to understand it.

      Much like the old soviet joke:

      A Soviet and an American get on a plane and get to talking. The Soviet says he works for the KGB and he’s on his way to go learn American propaganda techniques.

      “What American propaganda techniques?” asks the American.

      “Exactly,” the Soviet replies.
