(32,139 posts)I didn't mean that propaganda is new to America. We have been immersed in a Matrix of corporate messaging for a very long time through television and radio and the very structure of our communities.
But the propaganda machine, like the government's spying infrastructure, is reaching a level of depth, interactivity, and microscopic invasiveness that is truly chilling. We have reached a point well beyond government posters and radio broadcasts, to a creepy new reality in which Americans who believe they are merely having a political conversation on the internet meet immediate, relentless, swarming, and manipulative pushback to any criticism they might level at the Powers That Be.
There is an entire machine being put into place to manufacture the illusion that Americans welcome what is being done to us.
It is creepy as hell, and, when combined with awareness of the metastasizing spying and police state infrastructure, truly chilling.
