i wonder if propaganda was as bullshit a century ago as it is now

While I was thinking about a reply I realized that people back then were as ignorant and stupid as the people of nowdays

@Elfie yeah, only that everyone now constantly is hammered with media. i think it twists the brain. a century ago you had people whose reality was their community. now i know about cluster fucks happening across the globe.
and that is fedi, most people know only about the "approved happenings" and are happy with it.
Yeah I imagine the ease of transmission has increased the effect of propaganda even if the methods employed are largely unchanged.
@bonifartius propaganda has evolved to the point it can manufacture narratives and also "realities" attached to them
Like this whole "climate change" nonsense, every morning I hear on the news "Pakistan is flooded, Lombardi is flooded" and I laugh because it's got nothing to do with me, I live in Latin America whatever happens overseas is not our concern
But they push this ideas constantly to create a "reality" in which climate change is real

@Elfie i mean, it might be real, might be sun cycles or whatever. might even be CO2, only that all the bullshit common people have to do doesn't help jack shit against CO2.
i recently saw a video of someone who said more or less exactly the same things happened ~130 years ago, but i have to look into it and verify that.

I see it as goy cattle farming, similarly to how a garden variety grifter does it only in this case with infinite funding.
A shared narrative is implicit group membership.
End goal is manufacturing a captive global audience to use as they see fit.
And it is very similar to how power structures traditionally built and kept their followers. Only back then there were technological and other (social, linguistic) limitations reducing narrative reach.
