Re: Made For Each Other (none / 1)

Yet, how do you discover the boundaries of propaganda? Is the global population treated like a cattle to be managed and fed by narratives and just enough bread? More fully or less so than before? It is quite fun to notice that the scientific method was applied to this matter more comprehensively than you imagined.

If before is pre-industrial, there sure is more propaganda now, but that could just as well be because it is less effective. In 1542 if you were a peasant in Dalarna and the priest told you that the rebels in Småland were heretics, that was hard to check.

Is this referencing something specific? Cause if so, I don't get the reference.

Full text of Bernay's Propaganda is available on line.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
