So you’re telling me that my single puny brain is susceptible to influence and manipulation techniques which have been actively used and perfected for centuries?
Well my good sir, I don’t believe you
You are the pure one.
Well, the problem is that we see so many other people fall for propaganda we recognize as ridiculous.
Yeah, it’s always easier to see the big picture when you’re not part of the said picture
I see what you’re trying to do here and I won’t fall for your Mongolian propaganda techniques!
God damn Mongoriens! Always trying to break my shitty wall!
Propaganda is what British people do when they want a better look at something.
It’s simple really. Propaganda you consume: cringe soyjak Propaganda I consume: based Chad
I didn’t believe this, but then i saw this being posted again and again, and now i’m starting to think it might actually be true
I’d like to disagree, but you have convinced me!
Nope. I worked in the propaganda industry - I know I’m not immune to it. Nobody is.
For every type of propaganda that you recognize, there are a dozen others you don’t. There’s propaganda designed for people who think they’re too smart to fall for propaganda. Too much money and power is at stake to leave any loose ends.
I believe this is an important message for everyone on lemmy to keep in mind, from lurkers up to the devs and admins,
What if this is propaganda? Checkmate atheists.
I think the best way to detect propaganda is when some “fact” flatters your ego.
I’m inoculated more for certain types for sure - but it’s based on what I’ve been around already. I do think certain types of people - analytical types are slightly better at spotting it & avoiding & the types that just love to learn & to change their minds based on scientific evidence. To me that’s all we can hope for.
If your idea of truth though comes from a god or spirit then you are just stumbling in the dark.
Yes, but what if the science is full of propaganda?
For science journalism sure? Maybe some shit with pharma. But in general not really unless you mean like education which may or may not be counted depending on definition.
What I can say is that Bill Nye and Kent Hovind are entirely different forms if they are both propaganda. Also one of them is infinitely more harmful than the other and it ain’t the man with the catchy theme song.
I’m not anti science but you have to follow the money. Who are paying for the studies no matter where they’re done? I believe in science as a process of learning and science is telling me there are a lot of mistakes and bias in science. Of course not all of them, but enough to take it all with a grain of salt.

Everything I believe is correct though, so if I see something that agrees with what I already believe, it can’t possibly be propaganda.
No but when I want to be objective I just turn off my biases before I read the thing so I’m good. It’s everyone else that can’t do that what has to worry.
I now want to watch Garfield cartoons for some reason…
How do you feel about lasagna?
