I never heard of this term before. What does it mean? And can you give an example?
- 082349872349872 2y agohttps://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html https://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html Examples aplenty (from biblical times to the present, albeit in a slightly different domain) to be found in Linebarger, Psychological Warfare (1954) > Almost all good propaganda—no matter what kind—is true. It uses truth selectively. (note that PR people used to call themselves "propagandists" in peacetime as well, until WWI gave that a bad rep, and they needed to rebrand)
