Yes, arrogance isn't defensible. We are all susceptible to nonstop propaganda in some form or another, but they dug their heels in and refused to investigate sources more reputable, and sources with no conflicts of interest.

Exactly. We were all subjected to the same relentless onslaught of scary propaganda. They tried it before, but we would have none of it, back then. Wonder what made this different. Was the propaganda really turned up this time?
Sounds like the perfect recipe. Now that I'm thinking about it, I recall Wolfgang Wodarg immediately challenging the claims of the bird flu or whichever it was. Censorship definitely played a big role this time around. Thank you for chatting with me. You sound so level-headed. Why can't we all be like that?
I come from a different culture, a pub culture where people held court and shouting opinions was sport. Differences were welcomed and no one would take umbrage for another point of view. There are so many positives here, and there are differences too, people don't take kindly to interruptions they are considered rude, and also people seem to get very angry at those who hold different points of view, I could not understand it for a long time. The only issue that has made me very angry has been 'mandates' for schools, universities and jobs, where a person was given a Sophie's choice, education or shot, feed your family or shot. Those are real violations against basic human rights. Opinions, not so much. My opinions are so often wrong I am grateful that family members simply disagree without venom.

There was not only relentless propaganda, but I think there was an incredible number of facts censored like never before.
