Hi,

To be honest I'm not in the position to draw any conclusion,
but one thing life thought me is to be wary of people that think
that they are smart and all others are idiots:

"The citizens of developed democracies are typically
victims of much more sophisticated propaganda"

Translated I read: You, that would be me, as citizen of a
developed democracy, are an idiot and easy prey
of this much more sophisticated propaganda,
meanwhile, I, that would be you, am smart
and fully discern the real truth.

If you think about this you maybe agree with me
that this is not the best start for a fruitful discussion
of your ideas.

You should better avoid these word blobs and just
explain your view as otherwise they show that you
are also victim of some propaganda, just a different one.

Ciao,
Tito
