Propaganda doesn’t exist in a vacuum. People must make it, and people must spread it. Like spam, if there’s nobody dumb enough to click on the links, the spammers will soon stop sending spam for want of profitability. The receptivity to propaganda is a necessary component for the propagation of it.
Not the propaganda they are fed? Or their education, pledging the flag every morning during their childhood?
That would still not be the root cause.

The receptivity to propaganda is not something that can be influenced. The interesting root causes are the ones that can be changed.
