eddiebbot<p>Public opinion was made or changed formerly by tribal chiefs, by kings, by religious leaders. Today the privilege of attempting to sway public opinion is everyone's.

eddiebbot<p>If a politician is a real leader he will be able, by the skillful use of propaganda, to lead the people, instead of following the people by means of the clumsy instrument of trial and error. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EconomicHappinessMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EconomicHappinessMachine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uniparty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uniparty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fakenews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fakenews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misinformation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disinformation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>propaganda</span></a></p>
eddiebbot<p>But even supposing that a certain propaganda is untrue or dishonest, we cannot on that account reject the methods of propaganda as such.

eddiebbot<p>It will be objected, of course, that propaganda will tend to defeat itself as its mechanism becomes obvious to the public. My opinion is that it will not.
