It’s Not The Really Blatant Propaganda That Gets You by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2023-07-19T01:26:24Z Most propaganda isn't of the Yeonmi Park "communists are so poor that they have to eat mud and get out of the train and push it because there's no electricity" variety. It's subtle. It's these tiny little adjustments where US allies are reported on more sympathetically than US enemies, claims made by unaligned governments are reported with much more scrutiny and skepticism than aligned governments, and the sins which take place within the US-centralized power structure are overlooked while those outside it are amplified and condemned.

Like micro plastics that we imbibe, eat, or breathe in, we're not aware of their harm to us. Thank you for another brilliant injection of reality. 2023-07-19T14:31:14Z Comment by bp94301 We never hear or are told anything that there is not some motivation or incentive for. What is really insulting is looking back and understanding how little the folks that own everything think of us or bother to shape a coherent narrative - they have so many redundancies in place they don't care if their stories make sense or not. 2023-07-19T02:09:26Z
