In this brief, rather too comforting piece, Graeber questions how effective the Empire's propaganda is on our fellow Americans. While I agree that much of the indoctrination is viewed with cynicism by many people (to express cynicism seems to give one the appearance of sophistication in the US), still it largely succeeds. How else can one explain the proliferation of misinformation, slanted news coverage, and infotainment? One would have to believe that the directors of the Empire's media and educational system are also stupid.
