I frequently decry all of our behavior, from allowing 9/11 to occur to invading foreign countries to torture to domestic spying.

You know who shouts me down? Most of the people in this country.

Later, of course, it comes out that what I said was the bare truth. Do I get an apology? No. I still get ignored, while those same people wax poetically about what they can't do to stop it all, and how they couldn't have known.

I think the propaganda works because people don't want to take responsibility for their actions. The propaganda gives them the excuse to let others run their lives, and they always have the out of "I didn't know! I trusted ____"

Sure you did. I doubt Heaven's gatekeeper will buy that, though.
