Bernays was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. I’m actually torn on whether to consider him evil but reading some of what he wrote makes it hard to see him any other way. He was a manipulator and the chief propagandist of the Creel Committee under Wilson. (George Creel was a journalist) The committee propagandized us into WWI.

Creel was a true progressive scumbag. Don’t be fooled by the fact that he was an anti communist, so was Hitler.

Left wing violence is so much more common, have they ever polled prisons? I bet the left wins in a walk.
Looks like Bernays was an unprincipled opportunist, which pretty much defines a career in PR or political campaign management.
