Not necessarily bad, but definitely indoctrinated, as many of us once were. The truth is a series of bitter pills, and the government and media aren’t going to offer them to you; they’re going to distract you from them. Which is easy to do, given how bitter the pills are.
I've been in the process of making a powerpoint-esque presentation to show to my friends who haven't read any theory and the thought of framing and organizing it as "bitter pills" is super exciting to me. Starting out the presentation with definitions and history would've made them fall asleep.
