“You should do some reading on Propaganda.”
Do you mean FAKE NEWS?
I read your previous post. I found it interesting. While the term propaganda certainly has been used t describe “fake” news, I am not referring to that here. Rather, how words and images are put together to convey the message that the user wants the subject to believe.
Your studies of cults probably includes a bunch of examples of how the leader identifies the “needs and desires” of the members and then he finds a way to meet those needs—like a key being inserted into a lock. Then he “owns” them.
I like to watch and listen to the messages to identify the real intent—kind of like watching a magician for misdirection and watching where he doesn’t want you to look.
I am not being a wise ass in this stuff. There is a ton of gray between black and white.
