    I like your analogy. Let me expand.

    This same situation happens every day. For years now, 1 person has died every day. Nobody pulls the broken lever, but if people started pulling it, it would start working. For the first couple days or weeks, 5 people would die each time, but eventually we would be able to get the train on a safe track.

      The whole post is an example of a propaganda technique where you keep repeating one thing over and over until it becomes a default thing where people don’t even question the logic.

      The ones capable of refuting it feel tired because of the sheer number of posts while the vulnerable ones get affected.

      Today both sides “feel” that the use of this propaganda is fair game cuz the other side is already doing it.
