You can tell this person is reasonably intelligent. They are articulate enough to present this as an actual argument.
And yet they're still capable of falling into fallacy and propaganda.
Just a reminder that this is the type of person to watch out for in real life. This is an obvious example, but intelligent sounding people are still susceptible to such bullshit, and theyre the ones who do the best to make it sound right.
