I can see now I didn't express myself too clearly. I didn't mean that "a lot of americans are waking up", but that of those (perhaps few) waking up, a lot those are still bearing the effects of propaganda.

Not that hard, given that Wesley is currently -323 years old.

That's super hard to tell since I only ever interact with ones that either visit europe or post in echo-chambers like lemmy.

Probably fewer than it seems from the outside percentage-wise, though that's bound to still be quite a few people. The US is a huge country.

How do you explain people jumping out of windows then, smartass?

It often seems like a lot of Americans who were always told their country is the best are waking up to the fact that it was mostly lies but still have that "USA best" thing buried down in their subconsciousness from all the propaganda so they start to think the exact opposite is true. That the USA is the best in being the worst, so to speak.

Also explains tankies. "We were told USSR were the bad guys, we were lied to, therefore USSR must have been a paradise."

I prefer to go to Bing to google DuckDuckGo.

Depends if you're science-invisible (in which case you might be blind) or magic-invisible. Bilbo was still casting a shadow with the One Ring on, so he could sit in the sun while invisible, if he wasn't engulfed in a fucked-up shadow world while doing it. That probably messes things up a bit.

Congress being the opposite of progress is another good one.
