So you're telling me that my single puny brain is susceptible to influence and manipulation techniques which have been actively used and perfected for centuries?

Well my good sir, I don't believe you

It's simple really. Propaganda you consume: cringe soyjak Propaganda I consume: based Chad

For every type of propaganda that you recognize, there are a dozen others you don’t. There’s propaganda designed for people who think they’re too smart to fall for propaganda. Too much money and power is at stake to leave any loose ends.

I'd like to disagree, but you have convinced me!

I believe this is an important message for everyone on lemmy to keep in mind, from lurkers up to the devs and admins,

Propaganda is what British people do when they want a better look at something.

Nope. I worked in the propaganda industry - I know I'm not immune to it. Nobody is.

I’m inoculated more for certain types for sure - but it’s based on what I’ve been around already. I do think certain types of people - analytical types are slightly better at spotting it & avoiding & the types that just love to learn & to change their minds based on scientific evidence. To me that’s all we can hope for.

If your idea of truth though comes from a god or spirit then you are just stumbling in the dark.

I take western propaganda like a sweet golden shower it is.

I think the best way to detect propaganda is when some "fact" flatters your ego.

Did you know this week was the hottest week in history ?
