I'd argue the opposite. Some things, in the moment, are really quite morally obvious — and then propaganda starts doing its work to make them seem more ambiguous than they actually are.

You think propaganda-driven homogeneous dogmatic thinking doesn't exist in China and India...?!



Can you offer any examples? In general, I think you'll immediately run into a relativism problem. What is moral for one person is amoral for another. This is one of the main reasons I think it's safe to say that dogmatic thinking at scale is so unnatural.

As for my comment, I was obviously just referring to this topic.
