In my experience no one is 100% free of the influence of such propaganda, though every person believes they are. As soon as you get comfortable, it’s easy to lighten your guard and start letting some ideas through.
For example, all of my friends are exclusively left leaning and will join me in rants about eating the rich. They’ll agree with me about the corporate hellscape we live in and how privacy is being violated more than ever.
Half of my friends own an Alexa. Many of them have Ring cameras. Some of them don’t vote. One guy I know had the police illegally take his phone and force him to unlock it, then they went through it looking for evidence of any crime to arrest him for. We were talking later about how you can’t be forced to undo a code but you can be compelled for face scan unlocks, and he told me that story as well as the fact that he still uses a face unlock. Like ???
No one can be on guard all of the time, sometimes bad takes are going to get through. And those bad takes will often be influenced by billionaires. I think step one is recognizing that and not believing you have already reached complete enlightenment.
Not sure if that is what the post from OP meant, but I’ve heard plenty of bad takes from tumblr sjws. Still one of the nicer places to hang out on the net.
