Because I'm feeling that this propaganda is actually working
on young disaffected men, and that that's not a good thing.
It is, why rely on propaganda otherwise?
But it's not because "it's real," more they are buying into the lie. Understand? Can't undo a mistake that doesn't happen. In terms of prevelency, reality. This stuff isn't new either.
On Hitler:
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong;
people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
(Like, it is even working on you Xeno.)
This is really hyperbolic, but it's to get a certain point across. A black slave back in the day in the US didn't get degraded and called an "ape," because they sucked at communicating their humanness.
Liars and shit bags are the issue here.
