The two main reasons South Africans are so easy to propagandise is because we are so reactionary and we want to outsource our thinking. We are always looking for something to be mad about so even when something is obviously false, we want to react, and we don’t want to fact check ourselves! We want others to tell us what the truth is, we don’t want to spend the time doing the research and knowing the truth for ourselves.
