This might be the first time we're witnessing western propaganda unravel in real time. It used to be that they'd feed people a bunch of bullshit, everybody would internalize it, and then years later, when it no longer mattered, we'd get the revelations. Now, we're seeing the narrative come apart within months of being published.

We're about to learn whether it takes the years-in-the-middle-bit to sustain the liberal suspension of disbelief. My guess is 90:10 will be able to erase the contradiction from their consciousness just as easily as if there were a decade gap between hearing the propaganda and finding out the truth.
