I agree we swim unwittingly in propaganda just as fish swim in water, however, what's interesting is that even when you realise you're swimming in it and point it out to others, they're not not keen to allow their paradigms to be challenged.
To me, the most important quote on propaganda is from psychiatrist, Anthony Daniels:
"The purpose of propaganda is not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponds to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.”
As you said in your talk with Julie Ponesse, How the billionaire class is seeking to control a universe that is uncontrollable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3sy6c1JrFI), there's no need to refer to conspiracy theory as they tell us loud and clear but in addition to clearly stating their goals they also tell us very clearly that they're duping us to reach their goals in their implementation of their Divide-and-Conquer and/or Problem > Reaction > Solution psyops.
For example, from Day One we could know that the alleged covid pandemic was a psyop when they pushed out images of people falling flat on their faces and told us that a Chinese research team had found the Chinese cobra and many-banded krait to be "reservoirs" of the virus debunking this claim later in the same article by calling this research "complete garbage". The dancing routines in hospitals, the alleged construction of hospitals within impossible timeframes etc were just more nonsense telling us they were duping us Revelation-of-the-Method style (https://soundofheart.org/galacticfreepress/content/revelation-method-predictive-programming-and-prime-directive). But just as in the quote above, people swallowed it all, thereby losing their "sense of probity" and turning themselves into "emasculated liars". It's interesting how "telling" us the truth underneath the propaganda with deliberate nonsense actually works better for them.
I appreciate your optimistic view in your talk with Julie, Michael, that their goals are simply untenable and will fail on that basis because I don't think they'll fail from people fighting against them.

Thank you for reading Petra yes I’ve seen the humiliation quote before.
I think modern life is a form of humiliation. Jobs, debt, conformity, all of it really.
You are so right, Michael.
