    I think they meant actual good faith criticism, not the usual 100 billion dead nonsense

    Of course, propaganda is effective, and well-meaning people might repeat propaganda unintentionally because it’s easy to take something you know as “fact” for granted. It’s good practice, not just in political topics, to trace back where you’ve learned something from.

      Sure, but that’s besides my point. Whether their criticism comes from a place of good faith has no bearing on whose interests that criticism serves.
