No, they aren’t. Any one who thinks they are is more susceptible.

Humans are social creatures, propaganda is a social contagion.

The only people who could be would be those with no ties to anyone. Kind of a nonstarter for the whole “cooperative survival strategy” that humans for going on.

But the article’s not talking about social humans. It’s talking about developers, probably the most antisocial humans to exist.

That’s propaganda.

  I see what you’re saying, but I’m done talking about this. Your logic is circular at its base, so there’s nothing to talk about.

    Yeah, I was just trying to prove a point that anything that’s a blanket statement saying everyone or no-one does something is invalid, unless it’s a physical constraint. I agree with you that almost everyone is susceptible to propaganda, but to say that no one is immune is simply wrong.

    Yeah, but maybe we don’t make that point on the statement that reminds people to be mindful of their beliefs and where they picked them up from. Feels like a thing that we should maybe encourage in people more, if anything.
