This is how we create “reality.” We represent our beliefs and values to ourselves, and to each other, with images, words, rituals, and other symbols and social behaviors.

The news isn't a social behavior, unless you're gullible enough to believe people really act and think in the ways television presents. This is why television is so powerful: because low-IQs see it as part of themselves, and they constitute the majority.

What the morons thing doesn't matter. The more you pretend it matters, the more you're feeding off the diseased teat of the lie that democracy requires dumbing down to the lowest denominator.

In other words, to put it bluntly, we are in a propaganda war, and we’re losing.

Do you not see how hopelessly totalitarian that sounds? This is sick.

They perceive us as threats, as aggressors

You are. You lost decades ago. Now you pretend to conserve what you had left, when it was stripped of you before you were born? Sounds like somebody's been reading originalist propaganda, because this has nothing to do with real life or the continuation of power.

You are using the playbook of your enemy. Congratulations for proving yourself to be that gullible. Have fun on the firing line.
