Government propaganda = ignorance = stupidity simple as......

You misunderstand me! The opportunities to find out what is going on are all there! People can't be bothered to look, because they do not see the need to look, because their life is so cushy! Most people dislike and don't trust politicians. Equally those self same people will say, " I don't understand politics , it bores me". So Politicians continue to manipulate them.

I fully agree with you.

But I'd also add the mainstream media are guilty of pretending they want people to be part of politics when the whole political agenda we see every day is specifically made to turn people away from politics and not to challenge conventional thinking.

The only way you can break through the deception is to examine the alternative media (not the fake alternative media).
Anything else is 90% misinformation or propaganda except the news stories which anyone could write - but it's always the spin that's attached to it at the end.

When you get a small forum like this which I strongly suspect has paid individuals working for the establishment to block creative ideas and infiltrate small independent groups of people from taking action, whilst they pose as patriotic independents, then how far up the ladder does it all go ?

I could name names but I won't - I know who they are.......
