    The coming depression and reality of impossible economic conditions will test the limits of propaganda.

    Outage and infotainment are the new bread and circuses, but all distractions have their limits in the face of not being able to afford basic necessities.

      If the distraction was only to nake them docile then maybe, but the distraction here is using their unease and anger towards the wrong people and it seems to be working. By the time they “do something” and realize it didn’t work and it was a distraction there’ll already be a lot of irreparable damage.
