@esther I have always been confused why it is never treated like propaganda. If a government puts out a message campaign, that's overreach and trying to control the population. But then it's normalised for private companies to do the same thing, every day, in a much more prolific fashion, and that's totally fine. Makes no sense to me.

@LonM @esther propaganda is widely accepted though? Unless it comes from the enemies of the moment

@LonM @esther

"Propaganda"...that's brings back memories.

I remember when it used to be called propaganda. Now they have all these cool new euphemisms, all steam-lined for the 21st century. Like, "fake news", "misinformation", "disinformation", "viral sloganeering", and my favorite, "alternate facts". It's almost like they don't EVER want to use the word "propaganda".

For those looking for more information on propaganda, may I suggest "Propaganda" by Edward Bernays.
