How can people fall for this as holding any value? The propaganda is not mere set of statements true/false, neither extracting facts holds any value. This very page, the very form and the very content is a form of propaganda waged on unsuspecting Westerners (who, unfortunately, eat it up). Abysmal state of affairs finds itself the entire the western civilization. The most basic logic that is 5yr old can understand is inverted here and the entire adult world nodes approvingly... sad.
Humans are psychological and social creatures above and foremost. Facts and statements have exactly ZERO intrinsic value, they are valuable only in a narrative or, in other words, in-group attitude,; in a world view. Double speak, double think is the hallmark of this day and age, with PR firms, NGO and media companies spinning language into western biases of emotional responses and doing the biding.
