The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate the truth. ~ Garry Kasparov
This.
It exhausts us so that we lack the energy to mount a critique, but also so that our minds are too tired to clearly identify propaganda.
AND it erodes our ability to trust any information and our institutions. It's like PTSD, making us hyper-vigilant.
@AskNick that quote came to my mind in the aftermath of the Crocus City Hall attack. Was it Isis? Or a false flag? Just about anything could be true...
