      The dimmer the better propaganda works. And Americans are dumb as shit. Don’t believe me, look who is president for the second time

        Americans are no dumber than any other demographic. They have, however, been subject to a century-long propaganda campaign to instill subservience to capitalist ideology while those same capitalists have been dismantling any educational system or media outlet that might break that subservience.

        Beware of the “Americans dumb” rhetoric, because a false sense of superiority is the exact thing that led Americans to accept the propaganda. It can happen to your country, too (and probably is happening, to be real).
