At this point you've completely shifted the goal posts and are no longer arguing your original position. Sure, my wondering "why are we burning billions in iran" happens to align with iran's interests. It's also directly representative of my own interests. The fact that some subset of people will be swayed by propaganda does not constitute a valid argument against a given position. If we uniformly apply the same standard you're demonstrating here then your own position would be attributed to being swayed by state propaganda and thus your actions interpreted as helping american propagandists destroy civil society. tl;dr You're espousing anti-intellectual BS that has no place on HN. Kindly take your braindead political takes back to twitter or wherever the hell they came from.

Or just this one? > your own position would be attributed to being swayed by state propaganda and thus your actions interpreted as helping american propagandists destroy civil society Except my position is pro-west and anti-terrorist supporting dictatorships. It's the old duck test: if it walks like a duck... And for the record, I'm against both sides of the horseshoe who are bought by enemy propaganda...
