And I’d imagine that this applies to politics as well. Given the popularity of /c/autism, there seems to be a correlation between autistic people and political beliefs on Lemmy that seem resistant to propagandized beliefs, though it may that other propaganda just hadn’t kicked off here in earnest yet.

I’d love to get your subjective opinions on this with caveat that correlation does not imply causation.

Also hope this isn’t sensitive. Figure this would help me the autistic community

    I think we (i.e. generalization about all people) like to think we are too smart for ads or propaganda. I’m sure I’m being advertised to in ways I can’t perceive, and it’s working.

    I also don’t think it’s fair to say that any political belief is less exposed to propaganda. Further, sometimes the political propaganda is in the form of product advertising, like when it is suggested that your purchase will right some injustice in the world.
