"Americans are baffled"?

@anolandria tapping the “you’re not immune to propaganda” sign, for the liberals

@TheJournalingFrog All day. 💯

@anolandria I've known for years that the US population has had the most propaganda from their gov't than pretty much anywhere except maybe North Korea....maybe.

Not to mention I care so much less about Chinese state collecting data about me, than I do care about the US government and huge mega corps doing so.

So what if China knows stuff about me?

@anolandria What me , worry? YES!

Soviet spy and his American guard share a cigarette in Berlin, the American finishes a drag and passes the cig, "You know, I'll give you Russians one thing, your regime really excels at is propaganda. The posters, the slogans, they're quite something and they're everywhere." the Soviet exhales smoke and replies, "You're too kind, but our propaganda doesn't hold a candle to yours." The American pauses before taking his turn at the dwindling cigarette, frowns slightly and says "What do you mean? We don't have a propaganda program." The Soviet chuckles.

@anolandria this American isn’t surprised in the least , (if you talked to me 15 years ago that something like this would happen I would have been very surprised and incredulous about it😹) yet here we are 🫩

[anolandria@mastodon.social]

@crow Yep. Classic. 💯

[anolandria@mastodon.social]

@anolandria the same people who are talking of creating a freedom.gov VPN to avoid EU censorship ?
No way...

[el_coyote@mastodon.social]

@anolandria im not baffled. Some of us here in the USofA don’t believe in any of this red white n blue hype bullshit over here, and pretty much ridicule it altogether. I didn’t choose to be born in this trashy excuse of a country. I would’ve picked Costa Rica if I had a choice.

Lots of folks here drink the social media koolaid but don’t think it’s all of us.

@anolandria
Inevitably, SOME Americans are baffled by it. I know Americans who are baffled by shoelaces, or traffic circles, or how tomatoes are a fruit. If we just drop the bar on everything to the lowest common denominator of Americans we'll wind up with... exactly what we've got, come to think of it. 🤔

@anolandria Anything less than a flashbang through their car window will not overcome the cognitive dissonance.

[jackmexa4@mastodon.social]

@anolandria

🙋🏻‍♂️Not baffled, but not USan either.

[anolandria@mastodon.social]

@JackMexa4 fair. 💯

[anolandria@mastodon.social]

@TheGreatLlama OK yah, that's true. 😂
