It was decades before I realised I was morbidly sceptical, because of course the rest of the world has just the right amount of trust 😏

I remember in school thinking why does everyone believe each other.

But I still can't empathise with the conspiratorial idea.

"We don't trust our govt, but we have complete faith in this other random group of people we've never met."

How does that work?

To be fair. some of those issues are not propaganda. They're actual facts. Russia didn't have a major part in the slave trade as far as i know.

It's the same as if i was talking to Wiccans and pointed out Iceland never burned women as witches. That would be true.

I might leave out that's because they mainly thought witches were men, but my words would not be propaganda.
