    I’m immune to propaganda because I’m smart.

    That’s not how that works. A smart person would recognize that there are degrees of smartness and degrees of immunity. Even if we accept that smarter people are less susceptible to propaganda, there is no threshold of smartness that grants immunity to propaganda.

    The most important service one can provide to a kind-of-smart person is to tell them when they’ve said something stupid. I’m happy to provide this service. Please rate 5 stars.

      And I’m the smartest person, therefore I enjoy the maximum amount of immunity.

      Just be smarter, idiot.

      Impossible for me to say something stupid. It is actually stupid to suggest what I said wasn’t the Immaculate Truth as Delivered By God.

      The only people who would suggest what I said wasn’t stupid are

      a) Idiots

      b) A vast and sinister conspiracy of malicious actors attempting to destroy me, everyone I hold dear, and my country.
