Russians who read HN are probably in the minority though, right?
And yeah not everyone listens to propaganda, and there is going to be a lot of diversity of opinion, but propaganda does work and a large percent of the population are going to get duped.
- epgui 5y agoThat's the thing that people don't understand about propaganda: the reason it's bad and scary is that _it works_.
- epgui 5y agoCorollary (because I’m not sure I was explicit enough): propaganda most certainly has worked on me without my even realizing, a great many times I am sure, and it most certainly has worked on you as well, dear HackerNews reader. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re immune, or too clever.
