Thank goodness Israel is indiscriminately bombing Gaza to root out these evil terrorists! I sure hope they get the terrorist's location out of those civilians they are torturing!
It will be said to influence the decision of people who are new to the gaming scene and haven't been repeatedly burned. Not everyone is a doom scroller like us.
People living outside their means does not mean they expect the government to fund that life style. Your argument is that improving quality of life does not decrease the effectiveness of propaganda because people are too greedy, right?
I feel like you really overestimate how greedy the average person is. I don't think most people expect the government to give you a mansion. I feel it is a reasonable position that the government should not allow investment firms to push the average person out of the housing market because the firm wants endless growth. I feel this way because of the current housing crisis. If the crisis did not exist, I would probably not be looking for answers as to why I cannot afford a house with a full time job.
My point is that improving quality of life directly FIGHTS propaganda. I am not pushing for any particular ideology here or saying a particular ideology, like communism or capitalism, will solve all of our problems.
The believability of that lie is tipped by the reality we live in. I could say, "if we had communism, the clouds would be made of cotton candy." Nobody would believe me. If I said, "I see you are having major housing issues. look at _____, they don't have housing issues, so why don't you adopt their political ideology?" The US govt actively avoiding improving living conditions opens up tons of those opportunities.
Ya wanna know the best way the US can fight propaganda? Take steps to enact real change in the current quality of life for the middle/lower class here. When people aren't fighting to live, it is easier to overlook the current governmental issues. Not saying that complacency is what people should be fighting for, but it is legitimately the best way for the government to fight foreign adversary's propaganda.
The cool thing is that votes don't mean anything in the comment section here.
