Of course, considering the constant barrage of propaganda and the conspiracy of silence as regards the truth, it's no wonder that most people really have internalised the propaganda. Public schools are the most effective means of instilling the lies while people are young and at their most susceptible. The universities reinforce it three-fold. Who would ever have thought that students would be graded on their opinions, even if backed by statistics, when all else in their work is correct?
I have noticed conservative talkradio in the last few days broken that wall down, which is good.
“I think that more people than we know, know the truth, it’s just that the heavy hand of government and societal sanctions will come down on their heads like a ton of bricks if they admit to it publicly. The Soviet Union used the threat of the gulags, the US uses the threat of loss of job, loss of reputation, and social ostracisation. Just ask Richwine, Derbyshire, Rushton, et al, and all they did was to cite statistics-known in this leftist ruled society as “hate facts”.
More though I sense that what you have said that the USA uses is simply nothing more than “just talk”, they do not mean what they say.
The good news is that the internet has done a good job producing sites which more and more the truth is getting out.
