I'm glad that the head of capitalism is bleeding itself out, but its truly bizarre the decisions that they made. They should've hugged Russia and built them up like Japan after the collapse and they would've had a stalwart ally in the region with a shitton of oil and natural gas. And they really did drink the Kool-Aid that the PRC would inevitably become liberal if the economy kept growing.
I truly believe that the elites ACTUALLY believe the propaganda is poisoning the American Empire.
I think so as well, these people drink their own kool aid.
Of course the elites believe in their own propaganda. They actually consume more of it than the poor. They are more likely to get polsci degrees, "higher quality" education in history. They can watch more movies, read more news.
Propaganda exists to teach not just the subjects how to be good citizens, but also the elites as to how to manage and persuade class society.
