And then get new information from where? Why is the old information resilient enough that it needs to be purged even in the face of superior evidence or argument?

The old information is resilient because its been the enforced position by the West since the start of the Cold War. The entire institution of western capitalism and imperialism created a narrative and hammered it into every media form possible for nearly a century.

I dunno, I'm not particularly sympathetic to official American narratives in general but mass murder numbers being big still seems more plausible to me than not. It seems like mass murder is pretty normal human shittiness regardless of flag or ideology.

the mass murders are the official american narrative, you really think this is the one thing theyre telling the truth about?

Yes

so you know the US governemnt spews propaganda in the past and the present but think they told you the truth about Stalin... one day you'll realise how utterly fuckign weird this is.

Even liars tell the truth most of the time. It's too much work to do otherwise.

But it is their work, it's their job. There is a vast amount of money put into lying to you. If you find yourself accepting something you're told because it seems to fit the big picture you have of the world, maybe ask yourself who painted that picture in the first place.
