    Yes, it always has been propaganda. Central and South America has suffered at the hands of American exceptionalism and propaganda for generations. The difference is that now the gaze of imperialism is pointing inwards and to the north as well, which is unusual.

          Yeah at some point one has to assume they just don’t care. It’s why they force feed their population propaganda from a young age.
