People fall for this shit because they want to, not because the state department has magical brainwashing powers. Propaganda doesn't mean people don't have fucking agency.

If you directly ask if something is propaganda they're legally required to tell you the truth.

We are at the point they don't seem to really be hiding it anymore. Libs who know that Radio Free Asia is literally funded by the State Department will go ahead and treat it as reputable anyway. If it came out that Vaush was actually CIA, I doubt he'd lose a single fan. They just shrug it off these days and go on believing what they want to.

v*ush could come out as a self-described fascist and not lose a single fan
