Well said.

Or as I take it a little further (s/someone/what/ hinting at more direct democracy too):

Imagine getting to vote for what you want, not against who you don’t want.

But I really like how you put it too.

question everything and then give up looking

?

Why the second part?

Why not just remain questioning everything?

Propaganda is designed to flood you with so much crap that…

… that you [in the current form of propaganda] start to believe the truth is unknowable, because of all the lies in all directions at once. This primes you to give up [on truth and democracy], and seek a totalitarian/fascist strongman to save you.

Carry on questioning everything. Cannot have a fully informed public without educated minds. The mark of an educated mind is the ability to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting nor rejecting it.

Deploying non-belief may decouple you from susceptibility to such psyop propaganda.

We can still mend this.

Gets me wondering which type of “Christian”.

Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8swSkk9yeV8 .

There are many christians (not of that^ ilk) who very much are into the sciences, and are undogmatic in their approach to either religion or science. … Which was a surprise to me and my teenage militant aitheism that had swallowed the false dichotomy whole.
