CZ, I have a deep interest in having a real discussion of all of the issues. I really wish your essayist had a similar take, but she's ignorant, ill-informed, and when she isn't sure she makes stuff up. But don't take my word on that, read the news item.
Meanwhile, look: you're a Brazilian activist quoting an Indian novelist working in a British medium to claim that Americans are led by their noses by propaganda. And when the American challenges that notion on its lack of merits, you say he's in denial.
The irony really could not be thicker.
By the way, not only is the argument patently ridiculous on its face, it's also offensive as hell.
And frankly, if I'm simply led and propagandist, I'm not sure why an honest examination of the facts would be what you want from me. I'm just gonna parrot the usual ill-considered non-arguments, like "stop the torture" and "end nuclear proliferation" and "international terrorism is bad", you know, stuff like that.
