Very funny to listen to the most accurate description of the US I've ever heard, and then hear the narrator call it "delusional" and stuff like that.

It's quite strange. Isn't the guy from CIA, and would therefore be in-the-know and self aware? Like "Yes, and this is a good thing" kind of way. Is the denial performative for the record or something?
I honestly have no idea how self-aware they are over at the CIA, like how much do they believe their own propaganda, how much do they actually know what life is like for average Americans, do they actually think they're doing good somehow or are they all just moustache-twirling villains who know exactly what they're doing, idk, I'm just over here at the FBI 
like how much do they believe their own propaganda
A KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink. "I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says. "Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them." The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
Could be a hired actor. And/Or, they could actually believe it.
It's always opposite day in the US.
Ignorance is strength. Slavery is freedom. Peepee is poopoo. Shidding is farding. 
Interesting vid. Very convincing if you have Alzheimer's and the throat-GOAT is telling you you're a smart boy, and hands you jelly beans.
I will say thing about markets, they are more efficient at propaganda than central planning.
Why? Because you shit out ten thousand different narratives from different things, and then the ones that actually catch on tend to be the most effective. You then reinforce what does catch on and that's just all more efficient when you shit out so much of it. It is also so heavily normalised through this approach that people don't even see it as propaganda at all.
