For every type of propaganda that you recognize, there are a dozen others you don’t. There’s propaganda designed for people who think they’re too smart to fall for propaganda. Too much money and power is at stake to leave any loose ends.
Every logo on every product is an ad. Not to mention everything you come across on a stroll through town. Unless youre living that unabomber lifestyle you’re absolutely exposed to ads.
Oooo, while I do feel that I am very aware of, and hostile to, intrusive advertising online I have actually bought a few things specifically because I had seen them in an ad. It makes me feel a little conflicted but all of those things were extremely niche, so it took extremely targeted ads for things I would have eventually found on my own to actually make the sale.

They can’t work on you if you don’t see them. My gal Ublock Origin taught me that.

I’d like to disagree, but you have convinced me!

Propaganda is what British people do when they want a better look at something.
You are correct, disembodied head of Garfield the Cat. Please tell me how to think and how I should feel.
Nope. I worked in the propaganda industry - I know I’m not immune to it. Nobody is.
Never said I was. I’m trying to become more aware of it.
I’m pretty sure, is a global/general you. Don’t take it so personal
I think the best way to detect propaganda is when some “fact” flatters your ego.
It is propaganda just for candides. For optimists, it is a psi-op strategy
Did you know this week was the hottest week in history ?
What if this is propaganda? Checkmate atheists.
