Is this one of those you are now breathing manually tricks? Because I’m virtually never conscious of this.

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

How do you not understand that most of us were raised under the same indoctrination and have experienced the same propaganda as everyone else here? We’re not the ones still propagandized by that upbringing, education, and media exposure. I suggest starting here to learn how to see past it.

I mean we can generally agree that China is worse.

We cannot agree, “comrade.”

In financial terms, for most people the government doesn’t help you at all^[1]. Either your private health insurance pays some of the costs, or else you pay completely out of pocket. Even if you do have health insurance, it’s still going to cost you several thousand dollars per year until it’s resolved. It’s quite common for cancer to cause people to go bankrupt even with good health insurance.

They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.

Oh look what instance this was commented on.

If you really want to know, I’m sure there are medical journal articles and scientific research papers on why the “hate.”
