They've been convinced that they are surrounded by propaganda from the state enemy at all times. Any and all attempts to sway their mind are automatically considered examples of this.
The liberal free marketplace of ideas does not apply to propaganda from the state enemy. Germ theory does.
You can't protect yourself from it with critical thinking. It has magical properties which make it dangerous even to try. The only way is to prevent any and all contact whatsoever. That means calling it out and rejecting it from your mind and community the moment you start to feel cognitive dissonance.
Fuck, that cuts to the core of it. Like how the writings of Stalin and Hitler are "equally" (not equally) considered to be some kind of cursed tome that will posess you if you even try to understand it instead of just...some writing. They really do think that communist literature is some kind of chaos artifact with the power to bend minds and reality, because the alternative would be realizing that they live in a constructed reality that is easily refuted, and they're far too smug for that. They have to pretend that the only way anyone could disagree with them is through the provenance of dark magic.
