I think anti-communism is so deeply enmeshed in western culture that to a large degree it perpetuates itself regardless of all the propaganda efforts. And, likely, even the propaganda efforts are the result of ignorant people who have been indoctrinated and are perpetuating their cultural beliefs rather than people who actually know history deliberately hiding it.
Yeah, feds will intervene only when an org presents a real threat for the status quo, and even then they'll have to just destroy couple of key figures
I'm sure that they still coordinate and distribute propaganda, but at this point it's mostly on autopilot
I do think perpetuates itself, but I also do really wonder how much upkeep is required. Like, with how bad shit is, if you could shut down all the think tanks, "news", and copaganda, how long before your average person on the street would be indistinguishable from a hexbear user?
over a long period of time, little by little, a big part of what ultimately brought me here was progressively losing faith in those and slowly learning how to spot it by myself.
if they turned the propaganda off overnight? disfranchised workers would instantly switch to fighting over the right solution, not whether or not we need one.
