Reply #15: 100+ Years of Propaganda

[specimenfred1984]

Read a few books on propaganda, you'll realize how pervasive it is in everything, not just garbage like Faux news.

We're all brainwashed and constantly exposed to brainwashing. Almost our entire culture is based on flawed beliefs. The answer to it is as simple and as difficult as knowing what truth is.

We're being sold stuff everywhere we go and in everything we do. The gov't sells us ideas, big and small business sell us products. It's reached a point of absurdity now, so much so that reality doesn't even matter anymore, it's how well the idea is sold or how well the product is sold.

It's how the WMD lies worked. Everyone who's even remotely self-aware knows it worked because so many millions of us aren't even aware of how our own thought processes work. We just accept the odd assumption that the greater society is looking out for us and need to be told at least 5 times that it may not be in any particular case.

Propaganda is an advanced science now, learn about it.
