The Newtown & Virginia Reichstag Fires

[rezin]

I don't understand the purpose of this thread but in response to the Soviet "Art" of brainwashing:

The Soviet citizens (and Warsaw pact countries) were far less brainwashed than their western counterparts. In fact if their government told them one thing, they thought the opposite was true.

The soc block told it's citizens that America was a warmongering nation that had within it many people living in poverty. We were much smarter than to believe such ridiculous nonsense.

The Soviets were far more brainwashed by the enemy side than their own media could hope to achieve in it's wildest dreams.

They believed what the enemy side said about itself was true. And they loved western art, movies, music and so on.

That part of the media is where the strongest brainwashing occurs, as people integrate emotions they feel from the art forms with their place of origin.

As the joke goes: In Soviet Russia media told the truth and no one believed, in democratic America media lied and everyone believed.
