      We teach this all the time, though. It’s called doing research and citing sources. There is no doubt the education system has probably failed millions of people on this and propaganda does keep getting more advanced. At the end of the day, though, it really comes down to the basics they teach in English about writing reports and making sound arguments.

      To be honest, I always sucked at English, too. It wasn’t till college did it come together for me. I think it’s because we quit focusing on structure and focused solely on content. Really, though, I’m not sure what was different.

      If I was a minister/secretary of education, sure.

      If I was dictator of the entire country, no.

      (I’d like to push my own propaganda. I’m gonna become the most benevolent dictator humanity’s ever had)
