Everyone is susceptible to propaganda, we are all just more susceptible to the kinds of ideas that we already believe in. I am more likely to fall for leftist propaganda because I have leftist beliefs, and you are more likely to fall for far-right propaganda because you have far-right beliefs. It's literally just called confirmation bias, and we all do it, whether unconsciously or not. The only way to differentiate is with supporting evidence and/or reasoning.

My beliefs are not "far-right" but in fact align with classical liberalism, a form of libertarianism.

And it’s just that: classical. Not with the values of the majority of the population, or even most people out there today. When the world creates new rights, abilities, and freedoms, those who hold to the liberal ideas of the past become conservatives because they moved in a different direction. Is moving bad? Not necessarily, and this is one of the times it’s good.

I sure hate to say it for the one millionth time, but you're using the question begging fallacy AGAIN.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…3mos3MO

The reason you call people out on this "millions of times" is because you use it incorrectly and seemingly just say it whenever. People telling you that you're wrong is not "begging the question", and, if anything, it is infinitely more fallacious of you to keep insisting that everyone else's premises are the false ones but yours are conveniently not. Literally every time I have ever seen anyone push back against some ridiculous claim of yours, you turn around and just accuse them of begging the question. It's clear that your incessant need to "own the Libs with facts and logic" or whatever is just preventing you from actually distinguishing facts from logic to begin with, much less understanding anything outside your own preconceived worldview.
