Stefan Molyneux and a call-in guest from Eastern Europe were discussing social and political trends in Europe and, to a lesser extent, the United States.
Mr. Molyneux had discussed how there are people who will tell you things that make you feel good and there are people who will tell you the truth, no matter how it makes you feel. Most people prefer to listen to the people who tell them things to make them feel good.
The Eastern European guest told how in the 1990s, she and her friends took a trip across Europe. At one point in the trip, they arrived in Spain. They got into a conversation with some locals. When the Spaniards found out that they were from the former Soviet Union, they said, "Oh, you used to live in the Soviet Union? That must have been awesome!"
She and her friends thought that the Spaniards were joking, but they were serious. She and her friends tried to tell the Spaniards what it was really like, but the Spaniards had been so thoroughly indoctrinated with Marxist ideology, that they just wouldn't believe it.
