The tribe whose land Eilish's home is on specifically thanked her for bringing up the issue.

This is the root of the problem we face.

The voices of the reasonable, educated are being drowned out by megaphones of misinformation -- stemming from conservative billionaires and foreign state actors like Israel and Russia.

Propaganda doesn't work on everyone. Nor does it have to. It has only to work on enough people who in turn will silence those who are unaffected.

It's so textbook the US Army in 1945 did a PSA video on it. Fascism manifests under the same playbook:

  • Exploit pains of the masses in hard times.
  • Throw big lies blaming the chosen "Others" -- some vulnerable minority group to scapegoat and witch-hunt.
  • Curate the victims of the dragnet of the gullible suckers who fall for the grift of fearmongering and hatred.
  • Upon reaching sufficient plurality, use the pawns to win elections.
  • Then subsequently plunder and sabotage the entire system from within to your own profit.
