- phs318u 2y agoI was referring to Goebbels’ own words regarding the application of propaganda and its efficacy when you understand the psychology of the masses as a collective entity (quite distinct from the psychology of the individual). He was a prolific writer (I believe his diaries measured 40 volumes!).
- DavidPiper 2y agoAh, thank you for the clarification, I'm interested in reading up. Your description reminds me a lot of a book called "The Hidden Persuaders" by Vance Packard, which I recommend as a distinctly uncomfortable read in the same vein.
