The "choice" of being fed propaganda 24/7? EDIT: y'all would be so easily brainwashed istg

Yes, it's not something that accidentally happens to ingest that much bullshit and take it at face value. There are other TV channels, websites, and people to talk to. By the time you're storming the US capitol building, you have made several intentional choices that put you in that position.

"Accidentally" is exactly how ingesting misinformation happens.

It’s their own fault for not fact-checking.

If you take everything at face-value, you’re either willfully ignorant or just plain stupid.

I mean, they could have turned their TVs and radios off. Or hell, they could have just changed the channel.

People that can’t identify the propaganda they are consuming is morally reprehensible are morally reprehensible. It appeals to their deepest feelings. Fuck this guy and fuck all these fascists ruining our world.
