I didn’t intend to imply that I have avoided good arguments in favour of poor propaganda. I think I have heard most of the good arguments too (and the stupidity of the poor arguments is more apparent when compared to the good ones). I have only described the effect which propaganda has on me. This effect is irrational, since it activates the stupidity reversing reflex, so I try to avoid it; I wanted to point out that using propaganda as a mind hack may work differently for different people.
