Title: Psywar: Wake Up Post by: MiningBuddy on July 07, 2011, 12:16:14 PM I watched this film last night and I highly suggest anyone her to do the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXg70qJQ6O0
Quote This film explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the "elitist theory of democracy" and the relationship between war, propaganda and class. I'm not from the US, but I'm wondering how you guys feel about this. Title: Re: Psywar: Wake Up Post by: Mittlyle on July 08, 2011, 12:46:01 PM Haven't seen this one. Seems interesting. An excellent (albeit long) film on the same topic is Adam Curtis's The Century of Self.
Propaganda and 'manufacturing of consent' is everyday. This is not an issue prevalent in USA only. The more people will realise this, the better. As side note, the individualism of western world has been created (not necessarily intentionally) by social engineering. Libertarianism is as individualist movement as you can get. It would be funny to hear opinions what folks here think being a movement in essence created by propaganda.

Over here in the UK we have parallels for sure. |
