In a case like this, it's pretty hard to differentiate between the official propaganda and what people really think. Even when they confess utter sincerity, you should always ask yourself just how big of a percentage of official doublespeak is automatically infused into their discourse (hint: the bigger the distance between you and them on the social graph, the bigger the percentage).

Trust me, I know, I've been "there" (in a general sense, not the geographical location).
