The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”

Ĉi tiu ero devus respondi, "Al kie vi iris kaj revenis?"
Saŭerkraŭto ne nur estas fajne hakita brasiko sed vivanta akra rezulto de preskaŭ sankta sale masaĝo, kaj retenado de ĝia spiro dum konsiderinda longa tempo.

Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.

#Supremacism in #anime never seems to understand how #prejudice works. the "inferior" beats/saves the supremacist. In anime: Oh my certainty of superiority must be wrong, I should reexamine ALL of my biases. Reality: Oh there is one exception to the rule, the rest of them are still trash but there is always an exception to every rule.
One of the things the #Reich did when ordering the final solution was to tell people that "we all know that ONE good Jew, but they must be sacrificed for the greater good as the majority are all terrible and we can't let one terrible #jew escape. There were people who were crying as they signed the orders for the final solution knowing their were murdering their former friends but did it anyway.
#Hitler even helped his #jewish doctor escape before many got sent to the concentration camps 10 years before the final solution. People ALL know there is an exception to the rules in stereotypes that's exactly why they can stay racists. Anime has a very over simplistic concept of #xenophobia and it wasn't until recently that I could put my finger on why those stories rubbed me the wrong way, not enough to stop watching them but enough to articulate everything wrong with them. #racism #racists
