It feels avit like the 'carbon footprint' thing. These arent propagandists telling lies to male moneu from human suffering, no theyrr just meeting a market demand for lies about clinate change.
But then you have to ask, why did conservative politicians and voters switch suddenly to not believing it after initially accepting it as a fact.
Tge obvious answer is that the fossil fuel interests paid then to lie. And so this 'market demand' was crested intentiobally by bad actors.
Russia is currently acting as a live demonstration of right-wing thought gone wrong, so if we apply this lens to that situation then apparently all the people on state media lying about stuff are just responding to a market demand from Russian people to justify their nation being the good guy. But wouldn't it be cheaper to fill that need by actually being the good guy?
So the propaganda is only needed when the populace want to believe one thing, but it's better for those in power to not do that, but deliver BS instead
