  1. @ebbot 2/2 choice narrowed to ideas and objects brought to it attention through propaganda of all kinds.

  2. It is not usually realized how necessary these invisible governors are to the orderly functioning of our group life. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #propaganda #disinformation #misinformation #fakenews #uniparty #EconomicHappinessMachine

  3. @ebbot 2/2 dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses.

  5. We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.
