On Being Gullible

I don’t think of the Russian people as gullible; I think of them as oppressed.  If I lived in a country with no access to the truth concerning current events, and a 15-year prison term for speaking against the government, I’d a) be desperate to get out, but b) keep my mouth shut until I left.

Obviously, the whole world is astounded that so many Americans buy the Fox News / QAnon garbage.  It’s so embarrassing.
