"Keep in mind the inspiration for Goebbels was Communist (Bolshevik) propaganda films, and a far better study of such things has been made since, including emotional manipulation by imagery, creating feelings in groups ("positive" or "negative"), and the ever present "Big Lie" techniques which have been refined and mastered by none other than Hollywood and Television Media over the time since. It makes for great and impactful drama and fiction on the big screen. But there is a dark side to that as well.
Right now, those techniques are being used to panic the American People, like a herd of frightened sheep, into demanding that their Rights be taken away. They are likely also driving some poor SOB over the edge somewhere, too. If you had the misfortune to believe what you heard on the broadcast channels, looped a go-zillion times a day for your viewing convenience, you'd probably go nuts, too. You might even begin to believe that drivel..."
The mass panic techniques were used after 911 and now the sheeple line up like lambs to be felt up by TSA and told how much hand cream to bring on an airplane. You are absolutely correct. It's happening again.
@austingirl Let's not forget that communists always play "the long game" in order to wear people down until a generation comes along that just doesn't know any better because this is all they have heard their entire lives,and they personally have no experience with the subject.
When the left first started ranting about gun control almost everybody laughed at them because we all knew better,and knew why they were after gun control. Now,several generations later,we have a couple of generations of adults that grew up in cities,never went hunting,never had a gun in their home,and don't know anyone that has. To THESE people the emotional message the left is sending it IS real because they have no reason to doubt it. ESPECIALLY not when it is being parroted by teachers (the very FIRST group the communists took over),police,and trusted politicians.
Hell,even movie stars champion it,and who is smarter or more sincere than people who live imaginary lives,right?
