Too much in recent years we've seen a cheering on of censorship, even if it's under a justification of censoring information that's wrong, it isn't right to do that. And it's not even about censoring information that's wrong to begin with, it's about censoring information that's critical and damaging. Yes, that's what the Red Scare was all about So I was right years ago when I was mentioning in some thread (forgot about which) that that time would one where we would still have the illusion of freedom. Which would make the illusion become more visible as such

How PAW Patrol will come to be viewed in years to come is an interesting question: it seems likely that a generation of children coming-of-age in a time of far greater gender fluidity than ever, will have little time for the show’s patriarchal gender performance. In other words, abandoning their children to this ceaselessly cheery neoliberal nightmare for 90 minutes shouldn’t worry parents too much. Yeah, but quite some expect others to feel the same as them themselves. One of the major conflict potentials in human interactions is precisely when one side doesn't feel as much about the other person or about a specific matter as the other one The image grew ubiquitous to the point where reinterpretations of it began spreading on Tumblr as well. For example, user TGGeko posted a drawing of a realistic cat with the phrase (shown below, left). User Fuliajulia created an edit in which the text was replaced with Bode (shown below, right). I see culture as the total of lived experience of a community—where the boundary of that community is drawn and what the political implication of that may be is the big question. A culture can be as large as the entire population of the world or as small as two people (say twins with a secret language).Any smaller than two and you have a survivor of a culture, rather than a culture.Nations have historically looked to distinctive aspects of their culture as elements of their identity.For Danes, say, this means big things like language, social mores and residence in a particular location as well as small things like having a hole in their coins. The interface betweenpropagandaand culture then is often thatpropagandainvokes culture as something to be protected.More than this some countries have seen culture as being one of their assets and have sought to introduce their culture to others as a way of increasing their “soft power” in the world.Once something is claimed as characteristic of national identity it then becomes an issue to be defended so culture andpropagandacan be a self-reinforcing loop. 4. What effect doespropagandahave on people? I am happy to answer your interesting questions.I feel it is an essential thing for the well-being of oursociety that students like yourselfunderstandpropaganda. 1. What interested you inpropagandarather than another subject?

7. How did propaganda influence the 20th century?

Yeah shows you what kind of people the people one knows might be, if they're willing to end a relationship because you don't agree with them. From one to the next and totally obliviously at that, aren't you just adorable? Because given how bad the profit incentives of sensationalism present in conventional media is, state-funded and state-managed must clearly be superior.Oh well: I am immune to propaganda, for I know that western MSM has said a lot of lies to push their neoliberal narrative.

or next question would be what was the most popular sport in Roman Empire? Most of you if not all would say that Gladiators, but not gladiators fight were not the most popular, the most popular were the race of "quadriga" -> races of chariots and at Hippodrome there could be at max 100k of viewers (nowadays biggest stadium can hold max 90k so well you can already tell x) ) People seem to think propaganda originates only from bad places like the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but we in America were adopting British propaganda techniques starting in the early 20th century. And propaganda doesn't just effect people's view of the world or their country, it effects relationships. The fact people would end their relationship with someone over supporting Trump is absolutely absurd. I completely agree with you. Also from the British came the extreme anti-German sentiments. Now people start to do pretty much the same thing towards Russians. It's like people have become too stupid to learn from history or they stay willfully ignorant Propagandais not a moment in the history of our world. It is an element in the structure of our world.As long as there has been conflict, humans have sought to use stories and other cultural forms as force multipliers.What has changed is the role of opinion in our society. When people have unprecedented power the manipulation of people is an unprecedented concern. 3. Do you believepropagandarelates to a nation's culture in any way?

The big one that upsets me is when people downplay the importance of space technology. You often see or hear people in the media or social media bashing billionaires like Elon for his space missions. Claiming that the money should be put to better use. I say it is being put to good use. Space technology will define future conflicts, with states wanting to set up their own information and weapons system in orbit, or to compete for resources in the void via space mining. The best example which my promoter loves to give is that : What do you see when someone ask you how does a Druid look like? You would answer about the view from Panoramix in asterix and obelix movie or from video games right? So you would be surprised to know that a real historical druids (historical sourcers from roman empire times) were often walking in wild naked, were living on their own out of society, having "fun" with animals, doing very wild stuff and hardcore that even romans said that druids are "hardcore" including how romans were acting x), I grew up in the UK in the later 1960s and 1970sloving old movies and fascinated by history, especially World War II.I loved listening to the stories of my grandparents about the history that had happened around them.It soon became clear to me that the textbooks and coverage of history in public memory was not always the same as my grandparents' version and that certain distortions, which benefited those in power, were entering into the picture.Fifty years on, I am still studying this. I am not vain enough to assume that I am immune to propaganda, but rather I have learned to enjoy the ride and appreciate a truly manipulative documentary or propaganda film. I always tear-up at the end of the official U.S. government obituary for President Kennedy, for example. 2. Ispropagandaas prevalent today as it was during the 1900s? As I said at the opening, what has changed is the role of opinion in our society.People have more power and more access to mechanisms of communication, while the sources of authority—the voices of government and the old newspapers—have found their influence diluted.When people have unprecedented power, the manipulation of people is an unprecedented concern.What then is to be done?Well one closing thought is that our conversation around media has always focused on our rights—rights to speak and rights to access—and I think it is time to also explore our responsibilities: to think carefully about what we share and whether we are enabling the spread of propagandaor even outright lies, and how to listen to others more effectively to restore genuine engagement in place of the mutual slinging of slogans.

If you're controlling information, you can dictate what does and doesn't get out. Although for the longest time now that's impossible to control what doesn't get out. But it's not about convincing everyone, it's convincing enough people to follow your propaganda.There's a very good reason I don't align with the modern day cults of the left and right and that is because no matter which direction you go you will eventually begin to see aberrations and these aberrations only grow in intensity the farther you go down either spectrum. PAW Patrol’s chief singularity is the way young people are called upon to rectify the mistakes or crimes of adults. Ryder, Charlie to the pooches’ Angels, is a 10-year-old vigilante, and in the new film has become a magnate at the head of a lucrative empire. The animals themselves, the movie reminds us, are conspicuously not dogs but puppies – never ageing, like Bart Simpson or Just William. This is important, because it aligns with a sensibility in which youth, unclouded by ambition or other adult considerations, is able to save the day over and over. Perhaps this is pleasing or recognisable to children brought up by late millennials having to become adults in a world where traditional markers of ageing (such as house ownership) are shifting. Also, children raised post- Philippa Perry are probably used to being considered on a more equal footing to grownups than previous generations. I do, which is why I focus of teaching and writing to promote public diplomacy as an alternative without the inherent unintended consequences or ethical problems. 10. Haspropagandabecome more or less important since the beginning of the 21st century?
