Nationalism, the rightwing, racism - they are all returning full force in Europe. Trumpism and Russia are using all their powers to destroy European democracies; through open and covert propaganda. You, the voter, can never claim you weren’t warned.
What can I, the voter, do if 90% of my fellow citizens (perhaps me too) are philosophical zombies who will do exactly what the propaganda machine tells us?
nothing. you live your life as you will.
it’s not your job to change the world. only yourself.
you will just make yourself the enemy the more you try to ‘fight’ your fellow citizens. they will not welcome you or view you positively, they will simply hate you.
We’re in this situation because propaganda doesn’t work, and people are going to repeat history regardless of what they’ve been taught.
Think about what turns them into zombies.
