As a Karelian, I have a personal attachment to my late father's village, which lost its homes during World War II. From what I gathered from my late aunts, there was a lot of propaganda flying around from both sides after the civil war in 1917. I encourage everyone to look up Finnish film "The Eternal Road." It really illustrates how propaganda can twist our understanding of the truth. Plus, it highlights the story of how 10,000 Americans immigrated to the USSR.

‘Inflammatory headlines’

When you read the article it refers to the fact that potatoes and cakes that use pesticides that are ruled unsafe means they can not be used in oven chips one cakes.

Do you remember the ‘promises’ made by the Tory government that the Brexit process meant that British standards would become higher in the UK? That worked well (see rivers as well).

this is the same exact argument being foisted on users at bluesky 2 years ago. like word for word. and now, despite obvious hell no from the bulk of users, bluesky is about to enter the thrilling new world of slop. the fact this conversation is happening here now does not bode well to me. the next stage was "blue sky is washed" for about a year. as soon as that starts here the end is bloody well nigh and I will be looking for instances that do not bend the knee.

When I was a kid and people talked about propaganda, I remember thinking how people who "fell for it" must be dumb or ignorant. Today I see propaganda everywhere.

I see it when my mother-in-laws thinks that people are celebrating in the street, cheering on Israel and the US liberating Iran from its tyrannical regime.

I see it in Canadian media which demonizes conflates Israel with Jews, and at every opportunity discusses what happens in Israel in only the most negative terms.

I see it right wing American media, which creates an artificial bubble of misinformation and distrust in facts and reality.

I see it in left wing American media, which hammers the same message onto people about identity over policy, and framing anyone with criticism of their conclusions as enemies to be reviled.

I no longer think that people who fall for propaganda as dumb or ignorant, but I don't know how to help people see different perspectives either.
