Don’t mistake stupidity with being brainwashed. I know, it’s easy to do. And some people are genuinely stupid. But there are otherwise intelligent people who fall for this shit.

This is true. Intelligent people are more susceptible to brainwashing I have read. I speculate that confirmation of the single message from multiple sources is a powerful influencer for them.
I avoid mass media and popular culture. When I see the single message it is not confirmation of fact, but confirmation of that which is hoped most people believe. And then I ask myself, "why?" I am a subversive, I guess.
