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
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!
You are the pure one.
Everything I believe is correct though, so if I see something that agrees with what I already believe, it can’t possibly be propaganda.
You just fell for that 'truth' propaganda didn't you? 😜
Propaganda is what British people do when they want a better look at something.
"Propaganda doesn't work on me, I vote third party!"
-Actual quote from a coworker.
I'd like to disagree, but you have convinced me!
You are correct, disembodied head of Garfield the Cat. Please tell me how to think and how I should feel.
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
U always reply w this when someone online talks about how ads don't work on them
Oooo, while I do feel that I am very aware of, and hostile to, intrusive advertising online I have actually bought a few things specifically because I had seen them in an ad. It makes me feel a little conflicted but all of those things were extremely niche, so it took extremely targeted ads for things I would have eventually found on my own to actually make the sale.
I believe this is an important message for everyone on lemmy to keep in mind, from lurkers up to the devs and admins,
Nope. I worked in the propaganda industry - I know I'm not immune to it. Nobody is.
What if this is propaganda? Checkmate atheists.
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.
I think the best way to detect propaganda is when some "fact" flatters your ego.
I now want to watch Garfield cartoons for some reason...
How do you feel about lasagna?
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.
Never said I was. I'm trying to become more aware of it.
I'm pretty sure, is a global/general you. Don't take it so personal
I'm not taking it personally? I'm a bit lost now. I just commented a response.

Did you know this week was the hottest week in history ?
It is propaganda just for candides. For optimists, it is a psi-op strategy
