Here are a few examples of "double think" that infect many Americans:

Many partisan Democrats simultaneously believe that a) The US was born of slavery, racism and genocide. It has no redeemable attributes. Even the founders' enlightenment ideals of the natural rights of individuals, democratic government and equality before the law are constructs of "white supremacy." b) The US is an exceptional nation, a beacon of justice destined to lead the world toward a better society for all.

Large numbers of the general public a) Are aware of corporate media and government lies, based on past examples of the Gulf of Tonkin, incubator babies, WMD and Qaddafi distributing Viagra to his troops. b) Yet believe every new government/corporate media lie told such as Russia wasting its money to bribe people, who already hate US occupation and want to kill US troops, to kill US troops.

And then there's this. a) Propaganda is the number one issue afflicting Western people because all the evil policies of Western governments depend on propaganda to generate support for those policies. b) We can defeat propaganda without examining specific policies and exposing the lies being told to support those policies.
