@brainfucker@mastodon.social > Propaganda works only with stupid people > No other explanations are in sight. That's very simplistic point of view. It's something like when people are saying that genetics fully define the person and environment doesn't do anything at all or vice versa. There are a lot of factors besides the propaganda itself making people believe in this shit. It's very convenient to think that it's just specific person is stupid if they believe in propaganda. But in real life there are entire social and psychological sciences studying how our minds work. And it always never that simple. I can't say that Germans were stupid when they listened to propaganda. It was a very unlucky chain of social, economical and political events that caused the biggest tragedy of XX century. But it's not for me to criticize you right now. I can only hope that you and other people who think like that will think critically about that when this ends. Otherwise it'll be just yet another iteration of [probably endless] violence loop. There is really no sense in MEANINGLESS deaths of ANY people on ANY side.
