Not sure about others but I find myself practicing doublethink when juggling between Chinese media and Western media and have no symptoms of cognitive dissonance. To me it's just a matter of perspective. Maybe we need to take that into account when discussing the impact of propaganda. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink

  From the Medium article: Someone or something or some combination of people and things is using YouTube to systematically frighten, traumatise, and abuse children, automatically and at scale... Um... hell of a claim, a giant list of videos and a blog post don't scream evidence of anything to me. A search for the keyword ElsaGate turns up little more than r/Conspiracy threads, which is a warning flare IMO. The Guardian article on it seems more reasonable, and basically makes the unstated point that this is a shitty parenting issue more than anything else. Don't let your toddler hook up to the damned internet unsupervised!!!

I told you about it, the ball was in your half of the field, this is what you did with it. May you live a long life. You victim blaming, hands washing... > Don't let your toddler hook up to the damned internet unsupervised!!! Says the person who wrote the above? The fuck outta here, I want to speak to your parents.
