    I’m not sure I even understand the question. How does manipulation make you “right”? You might be perceived as being right but that obviously doesn’t mean you ARE right.

      I believe they meant “right wing”, not “right” as in “correct”

      Via the mind-manipulating technique called “propaganda” an idea is inserted into your head, and the rightness of the idea too.

      Understand?

        Yeah, that’s just the perception of being right. Doesn’t say anything about the actual truth of the claim.

          That’s generally all we’ve got. Nobody has time for science or whatever.

          But if you had evidence that you were manipulated, that would make you feel less certain in your rightness. Right?

            Wha? I’m so confused. Am I being manipulated in this scenario into thinking someone else is right or am I manipulating someone else into thinking I am right? Maybe you have a more concrete example?
