Yup, we're just as susceptible to propaganda. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
That said, I do feel there are more diverse voices on the left that call out the bullshit.
Totally agree. We're way better at criticizing our chosen leaders.
Yeah. All the fighting I do with tankies and their useful idiots doesn't compare to the nightmare that would be wading into a right-dominated community. In left-communities that aren't run by ban-happy tankies, propaganda has a harder time taking hold, because there's nothing leftists love more than fighting other leftists; and in a fight, all other things being equal, reality advantages the side championing it.
