Oh sure I'm very aware of the fact that the destruction of any form of gatekeeping is causing this appear a lot more than what it did in the past. I suppose it's frustrating knowing that we got really outdated tools to handle this and the only current alternative (so far) is flat-out censorship/controlling the web. >What I really want to happen is for Americans to stop being so gullible about the really obvious propaganda. This stuff isn't subtle. The lies are blatant. Maybe we'd have a real difficulties if they were at least trying to be clever about it, but I honestly don't know how to fix the problem of a near-majority of people buying just-plain-horsepuckey. I think this is something that is true in Europe too, you can see this stark difference in how the eastern European block (Poland, Baltic countries, etc.) has for years been ahead of the game when it comes to Russian propaganda, and those that haven't have either historical ties to it (Slovakia) or is just cynical (Hungary). Compare this to Western countries and everyone still believes in holding hands and singing kumbaya like it's the 90s and the USSR just fell.
