I hope this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. At least for a lot of people outside the USA it was super obvious that the mainstream movies in the cinema are painting an overly optimistic picture of the US.
- some-username 5y agoI was not surprised that it happens, but I was quite astonished about the extent of it. Also it's nice to have proof and insight.
- d23 5y agoWhat proof and insight did this article give you? As far as I can tell, the movie this article is referring to hasn't come out yet.
- UweSchmidt 5y agoPropaganda probably still works even if you're aware what's going on.
- pdimitar 5y agoDefinitely not on me but I know people for whom that applies, yeah.
- UweSchmidt 5y agoI'm changing that to: Propaganda works and there is little defense. Pictures, voices, narratives, emotions directly create memories; connections between neurons are created or strenghtened - you can switch on your "anti virus" but the machine is hacked on the "hardware" level.
- pdimitar 5y agoI agree. Our instinctive reaction is to believe all the subliminal messaging. And we have to actively and consciously resist believing it, and to undo the wrong beliefs. But it also helps a lot to periodically read how yet another US teacher is living in their car. After a while it becomes an instinct NOT to believe the propaganda that tells you otherwise.
