Modern propaganda doesn’t usually tell you what to think.It tells you how to feel—angry, afraid, exhausted, hopeless.The goal isn’t belief. It’s demoralization. A population that feels confused, divided, and powerless is easy to steer.Misinformation today isn’t just “false facts.” It’s selective framing, outrage bait, constant crisis mode, and the quiet suggestion that nothing can be fixed and everyone else is the enemy.Awareness is the first defense. When something instantly spikes your anger or despair, pause and ask:– Who benefits if I feel this way?– What’s being emphasized, and what’s being ignored?– Is this meant to inform me, or mobilize my emotions?Critical thinking isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about slowing down.Check primary sources when possible. Compare opposing narratives. Be suspicious of anything that reduces complex humans into pure villains or pure idiots. Reality is almost never that clean.Divide-and-conquer works by convincing you that your neighbor is the problem instead of the systems incentivizing conflict. When people are busy hating each other, they stop asking better questions.The quiet rebellion is refusing to be easily polarized. You don’t have to agree with everyone—but you don’t have to dehumanize them either.Avoiding demoralization doesn’t mean ignoring problems. It means remembering that humans have solved hard things before, and they’re still capable of doing it again.Small acts matter more than viral outrage. Thoughtful conversations matter more than winning arguments. Building skill, health, community, and clarity is how people stay free in noisy times.The white pill: propaganda only works if people stop thinking and stop caring.The fact that you’re questioning it at all means it’s already failing a little.Stay curious. Stay human. Don’t let anyone convince you that hatred is wisdom or that hope is naïve.Clear minds are harder to control.
>>944939544A great guide on how not to be a tool. Worthy of highlight:>Be suspicious of anything that reduces complex humans into pure villains or pure idiots.>Divide-and-conquer works by convincing you that your neighbor is the problem instead of the systems incentivizing conflictWhile the pros outweigh the cons, you can guess the trend. So, if your leaders smell like shit, consider how the system incentivizes swimming in sewage. While the incentive remains, your regimes will resemble each-other.
>>944941886thanks for the bump
>>944942254of course
so what's your opinion of the propaganda posters here, like what the point of the 'blacked' posts or the loli ?
>>944946014they've obviously worked their magic on you
>>944939544
obvious chatgpt is obvioushave y'all tried thinking about words lately?
>>944946014Different anon here. The answer is fractionation.In hypnosis they discovered that after inducting a person that if they brought them out of trance and then immediately brought them back down into trance then went even deeper. They became even more suggestible. The scary bit about hypnosis is that you don't need a formal induction to perform it. As a matter of fact, a lot hypnotic techniques were developed to be conversational, and so the suggestions and changes were happening without the person even being aware that they were having their brain washed.The thing about fractionation in a conversational sense is about shifting emotional states. As an example, if I got you to think of something pleasant, do a state break, got you to think of something terrible, state broke again, and then got you to think of something pleasant you're going to be a little more mentally taxed and more suggestible than you realize.Very much similar principle in showing the porn for pleasure and then showing something else just to go back to porn for more pleasure. That constant scrolling on the site then starts sapping mental strength. Starts making ideas you wouldn't consider before easier to digest and take on board. Note: this is independent of how good the idea is.
>>944946203whois behind the curtain?
>>944946375I don't know.Some say Israel and the Mossad. Some say the FBI and the CIA. Some say all 4 of these organization. Some say it's a massive cabal with just those organizations as a part of it.... none of us are in the club. Who can really say?
One theory is that a shadowy alphabet soup organization is brainwashing and blackmailing INCELS into going on homocysteine homicidal rampages against whatever targeted group in order to push agenda
>>944946470well if IDF blackop they want to get attacked so they can play the victim card my opinion it to eventually make the public anonymous internet no more no more freedom of information by 2030 you'll only be able to interact with the internet via gov ID log in
based on memes I see here 'they' want us to attack blacks and trannies 'they' make it too obvious though
>>944939544Nah niggers are still horrible fucking people, and have been doing nigger shit for a long, long, long time. I definitely still hate them. They earned the low opinion I have of them.
>>944939544barking at the wrong tree here anon. this is /b/. we either don't give a shit or we know.
>>944946603I am floating along in an epistemological hellscape right now. On one hand? Sure, I've seen a lot of talk about how the IDF is, how they conduct themselves, and what they've done in the past; but I ain't never been to Israel or Palestine and so how would I know how true any of that shit is; on another hand, though, America has made a lot of enemies and to think they don't have propaganda mills and avenues of influence would be a GRAVE mistake and so it could be the case that a lot of this anti-Israel and anti-fed rhetoric is to undermine our central government.I mean you have to keep that consideration in your mind too: Given that Israel and the USA are psychopathic/sociopathic entitles for the sake of argument... if they fall? Are we inviting even worse psychopaths and sociopaths? Because the Constitution and the Bill of Rights ain't even worth the paper and ink used on them if there's no guns to enforce and insist on those principles, and I doubt foreign governments would care for our rights.... so I don't know what to believe, who to believe, what to support... and... to be fair that might be exactly where the cabal wants my mind to be too. How do you make a move in this shitty game that isn't already accounted for that would actually be meaningful? That would actually inch the world a step closer to being better than it was today? ... perhaps the desire to even want to do something like that is a trap in of itself. Who can say?
collective consciousness is more powerful than all of the nuclear arsenal
