    A lot of people still believe that shit.

    Because we are still just apes. “Smart” apes but not that smart.

    Adults still believing in Santa Claus, but in a toga, baffles me. But then I remember we are still those upright apes who could see above the grasses.

      Falling for propaganda doesn’t make someone stupid. That’s the entire point of propaganda…

        The point of propaganda is to make you stupid. Everyone has been exposed to propaganda of one form or another throughout their life, anyone is susceptible. You don’t have to be stupid to fall for it, but when you do, you are a little (or a lot) more stuoid.
