this is true if you’re analyzing people who have already wholeheartedly and consciously accepted the ruling ideology. but when they haven’t, it kind of doesn’t apply. propaganda can entice people to disregard their rationality when they materially benefit from believing it. but it doesn’t mean rationality plays no part in it.
