During these last years of intense anti-democracy propaganda online I had an interesting chat with someone who turned out to be aggressively pro-dictatorship.
His no.1 argument was that 'people are stupid' and can't be trusted to participate... which, without the pillars of democracy, has a tiny kernel of truth. (Although a lawless indoctrinated, ignorant, fearful and angry mob doesn't equate to democracy...)
All the rest that followed was misinfo or disinfo straight from propaganda that, when refuted as false, only introduced the next false claim and finally the whatabouts that had nothing to do with any of previous points.
Despite living in a full-blown disinfo space and being pointed out it was based on constant falsehoods *he* felt *informed*.
