There is absolutely no doubt that people are programmed because they repeat the propaganda without even realizing it. I started out the same way-we All did! Only a fool wants to stay that way though. A lot of the ideas and beliefs I had, I discovered were from lies and propaganda, I didn't even know for sure were they came from. In school or the media or from others from the same sources but I picked them up somehow and never questioned them until I learned different viewpoints!
People thing they are knowledgeable but almost everything we absorb is from first the fake 'education' system and then the fake media. If we hear something from someone-else, it's just something they obtained the same way. I never really appreciated that old saying 'knowledge is power' until the internet age when I started digging around and finding out what's really going on...
That's why they are censoring the fuck out of the internet. People have no idea. For example, if you do a key word search, the algorithm only brings up what they want you to see and that's very easy to demonstrate. You-tube-same deal, plus you-tube has banned tons of channels. Fakebook has banned tons of people and there are tons of news sites they won't allow links to be posted to..
