I have been noticing something curious for a while.
It feels as if, in various fields, some kind of test is being carried out to "test the waters", to see how much shit one can get away without being called out by people..
In hollywood, this manifest itself as blockbuster movies. Superhero movies, Christopher nolan movies movies like John wick, Madmax fury road etc.
I mean look at this shot from the trailer of a war movie from Nolan

And another mixup from the same movie

It is unbelievable that this is from a movie from one of the biggest names in Hollywood! This is the continuation of the sound mixing issues of his previous movie..
People did point to these issues, but they gets drowned in a million apologetic voices...
In this cases, the propaganda appears in form of Hype. The hype generation machinery starts working years before the actual release of the movie.
And when it has completely run its course, what you will have is a body of people who will pay to see the movie, and - this is the important part - will be blown no matter what and will not stop talking about it. It is as if they are under some spell or something.
And no, I don't think only your average joe is susceptible for this manipulation. Even professional movie reviewers will fall for this.
In programming world, you see this happen with things like git. I am not saying Linus is running a propaganda on purpose. But may be, it just so happened because of his god like status in the minds of the people...
And I think with these recent events, we are seeing how far the rabbit hole goes....
