I never said anything about this system or society being free beyond those who like it. Propaganda is more then state messaging, at base it's simply propagating your message or meme. I am a proponent of anarchists giving up activism and going back to good ol' fashion propaganda. The reason new consumption habits emerge is because of changing psychosomatic conditions. The fossil fuel structure of being for instance plays a big role in current human surrogate activities. Advertising was simply a branching development that reflected human visions of excess based on fossil fuels. One of things Thaddeus Russell points out is how humans would take an invention that was meant for productive purposes and re-purpose it towards more excessive activities. These things precede modern advertising.

If you have an infiltration probe milieu then it is a bad structure to begin with. The activist milieu which is what many mean by milieu has the same problems as militancy structures in that they are basically subsocietal gang structures with a formal ingroup and outgroup structure. If you have this then infiltration is inevitable. Sites like anews don't have that problematic structure as it's based on anon and pen named posters who don't know each other intimately. The internet did not facilitate white nationalism any more then it facilitated far left radicalism back in the dawn of indy media days. Right wing marginal ideology or left wing reflects the zeitgeist and the times. These times are very materially depressing with high levels of psychological terror management tendencies. It's not surprising at all that fascist and reactionary tendencies have seen a comeback. What source do you have to suggest that the far right has more money? I would say both have money and if anything prog ideology has higher margins of funding.

Of course their has always been push back against anything goes but that's what anarchy is about. Anarchy is simply not a societal form, it's psychosomatic freeones doing what they want and will. There will always be norms but their will always be anarchic margins to push against it.
