First rule of war:
Never believe your own propaganda.......................
Unfortunately what is being taught now is that we are supposed to “create reality” with narrative and that if we believe hard enough we can make it real.
Personally, I try to restrict my narrative abuse to good causes, like talking people down from a ledge for example.
I think what the lefties are teaching with this goes a step beyond propaganda and into unmooring people from reality. That’s just not helpful. It seems to be having the effect of encouraging things like this Jussie Smollett mess rather than bringing people together in order to address real problems that get no attention because they aren’t “sexy” enough.
