    Yes he is. But if he wasn’t, someone else would be. The point being the only way these pieces of shit are allowed any power is because we don’t understand - as a populace - how media works. It’s not part of our processing of input. And so, propaganda works, it can’t be countered and the only way to defeat it will never be taught.
