What I am about to say is based on my subjective personal experience, and I’ve only thoroughly lived in two countries (I am not counting several months here or there, that’s not thorough enough, although everything has contributed to my perspective).
In the States, if you want to be a master of illusions, it is relatively easy, because people are very gullible and trained to react to sensationalist slogans, and critical thinking is in its rudimentary form. If, on the other hand, you want to make a real difference, it is harder (not impossible, but harder) because the market is oversaturated with slogans and eloquent charlatans, and the public (with some awesome exceptions), is too lazy to think for itself. As a result, in order to be heard, you need to give people slogans. At which point half of the truth is lost. Welcome to my nightmare.
In a less “free speechy” environment, speech has a much stronger impact (probably one of the reasons it’s not quite free), and people are more receptive to it. Not that they don’t buy into slogans, they still do, we all go through this. But word seems to have more power when it’s not completely diluted by noise.
In other words, life on Earth at its best. Everything comes at a price. Good night.
