Sounds like “propaganda works better to mobilize the illiterate, for better or worse”

And that tracks. With modern methods and lawmaking to incrementally increase societal illiteracy coupled with an obscene level of increased propaganda, the tools that worked for revolution are turning instead to bolster power for those literate few in power.

A dumber electorate. That’s what’s happening and that’s the goal. The revolution got hijacked. And it’s working amazingly well unfortunately.
