In addition to representing the worst impulses of brand twitter, the steak-umms account is not correct about how propaganda or conspiracy theories work
It's almost too on the nose that people are getting lessons on propaganda from an account whose literal purpose is to propagandize on behalf of their brand. Anyway, what they're saying is wrong
The most blatant lie they're perpetuating is that vulnerable people are more susceptible to conspiracy theories and propaganda. That simply isn't true. In fact, research generally shows that the people who fall prey are those anxious about losing power.
The actual most vulnerable people in society are more often the scapegoats and targets of propaganda and conspiracy theories. More insights in this thread from @wagatwe https://twitter.com/wagatwe/status/1248998706684112896
