one of the many idiots that fell for the obvious bullshit.
The thing is, you don’t even have to fall for it. You can very much not believe what is being said to you, and still be influenced in ways that the propagandist intends. One major technique being used is the amplification of existing discord. Both parties of the conflict ALREADY don’t believe what the other is saying. They amplify a message you believe is wrong, inducing you to fight all the more against that thing, think about it, be upset about it, hate it, all the while the propagandist is exploiting the cover provided.
