    Idk, p sure North Korea is more propagandized, misinformed, and manipulated. Not to say shit isn’t bad here. But at least there is some resistance to it. Mamdani didn’t get elected because people are ok with just sleeping through it, after all. Sure, it might be too little, too late. But we have at least a fighting chance still.

      I would argue not, North Korea doesn’t produce the volume of messaging we do or deliver it as often or in so many spaces of our lives as we do. NK propaganda is state organized and pervasive but its got the sophistication of a previous age of mass media, closer to WW2. Our media landscape is an insanely powerful tool of manipulation.
