3. Lack of infromation and cognitive dissonance

Too much 700 Club and other Bushevik (Goebbels v2.0) Propaganda can do this to a person.

Apparently, it is very easy for people to be made to act against their own interests, even if they are their OWN direct interests.

Straight up intelligence has nothing to do with it, intelligent people can be fooled nearly as easily as unintelligent people.

The operative traits necessary to resist such time-honored propaganda assaults are skepticism and raised consciousness.
