Propaganda probably still works even if you're aware what's going on.

Propaganda 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.
