(34,179 posts)For the past fifty years. TV, radio, newspaper, billboards, advertising, corporate propaganda, is everywhere. In any decent size town, village or city you cannot step outside your house without being assaulted by it. People not only wear corporate propaganda, but think it is the height of popular fashion. Corporate propaganda has insinuated itself into virtually every corner of our society.
And don't think that you're immune, you're not. Decades of research, psychological, sociological, biological goes into advertising. What colors are used, what images are presented, what sounds are made, what smells are created, all of this and more goes into the creation of corporate propaganda. Even though you may be hyper vigilant about it, corporate propaganda will still get to you.
We have become brainwashed as a society, all by the art and science of corporate propaganda.
