11. We are ALL "stupider" today, not just the Busheviks
Although they have purposefully been mind-enslaved by the propaganda infrastructure I like to call Goebbels v2.0

Stupidity or intelligence has very little to do with gullibility. My personal view is that intelligence may be a small ward to gullibility, but as human being, smart and stupid, we ALL share the characterstics (to some degree or another) of "Unquestioning Obedience to Fuhrer", of "Scapegoating the Other" of "I refuse to accept that I have been lied to because it would be to painful and would forece me to acknowledge I have been a fool" and so many others.

Finally, convincing yourself of demonstrable lies and ignoring contrary facts out of selfish self-interest is nothing new and NOT limited to Busheviks.

It just seems that way because they have harnessed all these negative characteristics in to One Fabulous Marketing Plan in which the product to be sold is Orwellian Tyranny.
