In a way, that sort of relates to my point. We have ignorant people, and people susceptible to propaganda due to education. It would be expected to take yet more time to develop a population of educated people resistant to propaganda.
On the other hand, I find that sources such as the Unabomber tend to define "resistant to propaganda" as "believing what I believe" (similar to the way many people use the word "smart" to mean "believes what I believe", especially in political contexts), which, for lack of a better word, I can only call an immature point of view.
Anyhow, it hardly seems fair to refer to someone as "propaganda resistant" when the reason they are resistant is that they literally can't perceive it. That's like crediting my dog for not falling for [your favorite obviously false ideology here]; that's not really a plus in her column.
