Propaganda doesn't totally rob people of ~~agency~~ free will (more accurate term), if it did this site wouldn't exist. People do have the capacity to develop critical thinking, skepticism, and a basic curiosity about the world that allow them to develop some resistance to propaganda.

You can hold people accountable for failing to even attempt to do this.

Everyone loves saying "built different" as some oh so fucking brilliant retort.

I don't think anyone is "built" anything, but people do often end up as impasses where they go one way or another, and one way is bad and the other is good. Some people choose to go one way and ended up here, others went the other and ended up in reddit-logo

Again this all just loops around back to hard determinism where we really can't judge anyone for anything. Hitler was just a smol bean what had doomed by fate.
