You know what's by definition uninformed and vibes-based? You claiming my opinion is uninformed and vibes-based. I'm not only not American to be subject to "the current fracturing of cultural and political discourse in the US" but I also have a degree in International Relations, so I think my opinion is pretty informed.
Now if you'd like to also be informed, start by reading (or reading about) Antonio Gramsci and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_hegemony
I would delete this comment if I could, as I totally misinterpreted your prior comment. I am sorry.
Yes, the guerrilla propaganda is real and has been practiced for decades now...and one of its pervasive traits is that it focuses not only on media but also in changing the minds of students while they are in university, when they are particularly susceptible to influence. It's textbook Gramsci stuff.
Again, sorry for my knee-jerk reaction. I probably had too much or too little coffee, and I'd buy you one to make up for it if I could.
