Even if it doesn't work on an individual, which there are ways to navigate it, it changes the discourse around the subject so much that the discourse itself has to be navigated as a politicized material condition. Campism, third positionism, apathy and disengagement are all effects of propaganda that individuals can't do much about regardless of how resilient, critical, or educated one is.

The best defense against propaganda is getting organized, having practical discussions and doing work that centers people who are the subjects of propaganda. And then, having political debates and making decisions democratically.

So I was being sarcastic but I appreciate your clarity and directness.
