RE: Why is propaganda effective? How does mental corruption take place?
I think propaganda works by creating narratives that a lot of people want to believe are true anyway. Then when the media uses coordinated efforts to push an agenda, those who don't buy into the "accepted" point of view feel like they are in the minority, and feel under attack. This can create or worsen divisions among a population, to the benefit of a government.
To some degree. Yet it can be more insidious than this.
Numerous people have said versions of the "Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth".
There are quite a few variations. They are generally not from particularly pleasant individuals historically speaking.
Yes, I agree. Lies have been woven all through history. With sinister goals in mind. Another thing is that history is written by the victor.
It's even worse. History is EDITED by the victor is my new saying. Because, we have people going back and rewriting history even today. Changing the narrative, removing specific topics, adding others.
YES!!!
