You're definitely right that most people seem to lack the critical thinking skills, or simply dgaf. But in my experience of rubbing shoulders with a wide variety of activist types on all sides of the political spectrum who think they're awake, there are many many layers to the propaganda. Even when people think they're clued in, they've often only peeled back the onion a single layer or two without realising how deep the rabbit hole really goes. When people lack principals of their own to stand by, they will just seize onto whatever convenient explanation they're offered by the latest con artist(s), because in a world where they're adrift on the ocean of confusion, any answer that makes life simple and understandable is like a life raft.
