Lies.

--
For as long as man has been, there have been liars and lies in existence.
Deception is one of the most common things in society, today, sadly..
How exactly does propaganda work though?
It's not as hard as it sounds, actually, and the results can be quite astonishing..


What about the Chic-Fil-A sauce?...

--
A lie (as far as I know.. :O..).
But seeing it here and me exclaiming that, might actually lead someone to believe there might be and look into it.
The power of propaganda has many scales.

Let's say that I take that same statement, about Chic-Fil-A's sauce, and I promote that claim..
I start to put commercials out telling people to call me if they've eaten at Chic-Fil-A cuz they might have consumed horse semen. (This might not actually be allowed to be put out in this specific way, but this is to make the point, not to argue this specific examples viability in a real-world application as it pertains to this specific company/etc.. don't get your panties in a bunch. ;) )
Step 2, I continue to promote it in as many places as possible, for as long as possible.
People continue to see my propaganda and some start to believe it, as it's repeated in their head over and over.
They begin to question it and some even completely stop eating there.

Why?

I've put the idea, the possibility, in their head.
I've essentially "bought" their eyes and minds.
Obviously this doesn't work for all, otherwise we'd be a solely consumerism economy, which we are not..
However, this does influence a vast majority of people's beliefs and shapes their feelings and thoughts towards any given idea/thing.


So it's ok to eat the sauce? Or?..

--
Yes! If you like it. Eat it.

This point was just to show you that a vast majority of people CAN be "bought" and will be, by believing just about anything they see or hear.

Influence through propaganda is how countries rally support for wars, how banks get you to sign on with them, how mcdonald's (attempts, but fails) to make their food look absolutely delicious and juicy/crispy.. The list is never ending.
The real question is..

How much of it will you fall for?


Thanks for reading! :)
