I don't think propaganda can ever be value neutral (2:24). The goal of propaganda is to move people toward a certain direction _regardless_ of how they might have chosen to act had they acted based on their individual will and with complete information. Negating the effect of people's free will cannot be value neutral unless free will itself is also value neutral, but the positive value of free will is something this channel has always emphasized. Therefore, propaganda must be bad by default regardless of its goal.

Why does Propaganda work? I once read a study in which 1. The political opinion of Test persons was measured. 2. Afterwards they were shown propaganda Material. 3.Directly following their opinion was measured again. The Material did not change their opinion on the subject as the Material was easily identifiable as propaganda. 4. A couple of weeks later the political opinion was measured once again and it was seen that their opinion had changed in Favor for the propaganda. The conclusion was that people do not forget the Information but the source of the Information.

Agree'd. I can't stand the argument that propaganda is neutral. Even if Propaganda was truly neutral, the very fact that it can be used for nefarious means without the public even knowing, should be enough to make the average person very weary. And I certainly don't subscribe to the idea that Propaganda makes the world easier to understand or comprehend, like Ellul claims. If anything, Propaganda can be used to create a fantasy world, with which can be used to manipulate people into supporting awful things, just see Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, China, or North Korea, if you don't believe me.

This video couldn't be anymore relevant in 2021. We have an entire media and education system that is fully vested in their beliefs and that they need to push them down even though many of them are not accurate.

Great info, especially in today’s controlling world. People need to wake up, and not just pick sides

This may be one of the most important vids on this site to this day

I just read a great book about modern propaganda techniques by Peter Pomerantsev titled ‘This is [not] Propaganda: adventures in the war against reality’ . It was very interesting.

Your material is top class, keep up the good work!

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.” (Edward Bernays, Propaganda, 1928)

Great content, thanks for sharing. I love the concise format of these videos. Always a great choice of quotes and historical events to illustrate the ideas.

I wish I had access to such a channel when I was in university (back in the day). I quite like and enjoy the way you break things down. I forward these videos to several of the kids (young adults) in the family now who are attending school themselves. Much more enjoyable than the CliffsNotes I depended upon to help me through!

I love the Author's candid personal affirmation in the conclusion. Not getting at anyone, but explaining a thing for exactly what it is.

2020-2021 is two good years of it and is as modern as you can get.

I like that you added Ellul's thoughts on how propaganda can serve a useful purpose. It sounds like the antidote is to learn to live with uncertainty.

During the last days of 2022, this video is still on point. I have a feeling it will still be relevant next year.

Jacques Ellul's books are amazing! Great video and information. THANK YOU!

I'm starting to learn this since my friend is starting a regime in the school and he wants me to be the propagandist

2013: "In the modern era we are exposed to enormous amounts of propaganda". 2021: "You ain't seen nothing yet".

This is the most fantastic Intro to Propaganda piece of media I've ever seen. Great job!!!

This explains SO MUCH in 2021😳 Especially about "it being satisfying to people who believe it" We believe and are comfortable, so we don't fight any longer.

the biggest propaganda tool is how Statistics are used. Statistics are a powerful tool for the intelligent and weapon against the idiotic

This channel has so much good stuff.

The biggest bit of propaganda is "unity". What it really means is conformity.

You discussed 'vertical' propaganda, which implies the existence of 'horizontal' propaganda, but no mention of that type. I'm guessing that type would be the relentless parroting of propaganda carried out by its victims, to 'police' each other's views and speech, perhaps akin to 'groupthink', as has been dramatically exacerbated by social media.

I'll see if a teacher at my school uses your videos. They are too good!

I see now why this was recommended to us only just now. Every1 needs to see this! When the culture is “history is not important” you know the country is doomed

This an amazing and thoroughly researched presentation. Can you imagine if you did this presentation in 9th grade? Let see what the teacher does. Bravo, and thank you!

That’s why I ground myself in two things in life: 1: What has history taught us and what has stood the test of time to be true; 2: Basing any new info or ideas that are put forth to me as either: Info that is being presented to me with the option to be scrutinized and to be able ask questions about or have a further conversation to gain the truth of a particular piece of information. OR - Info or ideas that are being presented to me with no option of questioning them and/or potential threats, shame, ridicule, or other potential consequences if I do want to dig deeper on the particular issue presented. Stay vigilant and seek the truth.

In the 1890's William Randolph Hearst started "yellow" journalism. And it's been used successfully ever since.

I am so glad I found this channel some of these topics very eye-opening in today's time

Another entertaining rapidly explained gem of a lecture.

Good stuff! A video that is needed on the internet

I tend to agree with your sentiments. But "you" don't *need* to do anything! The individuals and organizations that put out propaganda do so to further their OWN interests. Their interests might be at odds with the reader or viewer. And all members of the audience might not necessarily have the same vested interests. What people ought to recognize, and accept, is that different people have different interests, and to not pretend otherwise. The responsibility is not on powerful people to make the world less scary, it is on those with little power to recognize just how scary the world actually is! And to preserve whatever power that they do have.

Thank You for timely lesson. Much needed these days with media-monopoly. Learn how to think v what to think.

This should be mandatory to watch many time “If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers👈 patrolling the streets. 👉We will control ourselves." Sounds like today. "Yet the word propaganda was first used 1622👈. In that year Pope Gregory the XV" I think its so important to understand this history. Its starts with Bernays and his use of suggestions. He was the one who convinced women to smoke by branding it as freedom and the one who had doctors selling cigarettes. By appealing to people's" guilt barrier" Also using dissonance. From: Simply Psychology In the most basic forms of the causes there are 3. Forced Compliance Behavior: Forced compliance occurs when an individual performs an action that is inconsistent with his or her beliefs. (First the mandate..) The behavior can’t be changed since it was already in the past, so dissonance will need to be reduced by re-evaluating their attitude toward what they have done. ( Then to resolve the dissonance from the guilt or old belief. They rationalize it with the most convenient excuse) Decision Making, increase the attractiveness of the chosen alternative and to decrease the attractiveness of the unchosen alternative. Many times by shame and embarrassment. ( Sell the brand and make the people unattractive or even sub human who are agianst it ) Effort. And.. "effort justification.” If we put effort into a task that we have chosen to carry out, and the task turns out badly, we experience dissonance. To reduce this dissonance, we are motivated to try to think that the task turned out well. (Like for say. Doing what you were mandated to and then getting injured. There must be some rationalization. Like you slowed the transmission for other people so your injury has a noble meaning) I dont think you have to try real hard to find examples of this today. Then there is dissonance resolution "Acquire new information that outweighs the dissonant beliefs. For example, thinking smoking causes lung cancer will cause dissonance if a person smokes. However, new information such as👉 “research has not proved definitely that smoking causes lung cancer” 👈may reduce the dissonance." That doubt or plausible deniability over time with enough repetition.. Is effective. You might even say its" safe and effective" for a resolution to a created dissonance. Or just a general distrust of the unknown. Bernays during WW1 was not the only propaganda. The Creel commission used more overt nationalism propaganda. Tapping into the " greater good" for guilt and shame or embarrassment. "The Creel Commission…succeeded, within six months,👈 in turning a pacifist population into a hysterical, war-mongering population which wanted to destroy everything German, tear the Germans limb from limb, go to war and save the world. (Noam Chomsky, Media Control)" Hitler was so impressed by these tactics that defeated him in WW1 he became obsessed. He combined these tactics. Finding you could use both to compliment each other. Basically the overt social conformity pressures help influence dissonance resolution in desired ways. In this most basic description " The greater good is most common" If you could symotaniously create that dissonance with repetition and persuasiion. Also with things like if you have a brand new product and there are health concerns . With repetition of " true facts" presented as " new research that finds it safe " can create doubts with repetition and time. When done correctly together with full control of the media they compliment both their "effectiveness" To control dissonance resolution through the group mind. Sounds just like 3 years ago to me. "Bernays knew of the Germans’ use of propaganda to convince young Germans that they were the super race, and he studied the Nazi use of messages and other methods. However, he changed the idea of “propaganda” to “Public Relations” to make his ideas and methods more acceptable in the United States. So Bernays learned from Hitler combining these methods in WW2 and rebranded it . Public Relations. His next book and also the filter and methods used for all information and persuasiion like what we just went through in covid. To coherse non consential medical experiments. Was " Public Relations " These are undeniable verified facts. Just all the sudden . With this new power Benays perfected from Hitler. It all went silent. Because of this history but also because a hidden hand needs to stay hidden. "The purpose of Nazi propaganda was not to brainwash ordinary Germans, and it was not intended to deceive the masses even though it did enable the movement to gain new recruits. "The principal objective, according to historian Neil Gregor, was 👉“to absorb the individual into a mass of like-minded people,👈 and the purpose of the ‘suggestion’ was not to deceive 👉 but to articulate that which the crowd already believed.” Essentially to stay hidden using group psychology to make them believe it was thier own idea. "The point is to make the masses demand of the government what the government has already decided to do. If it follows this procedure, the government can no longer be called authoritarian👈 , because the will of the people demands what is being done.” (Jacques Ellul, Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes)" Its for the greater good to get back to a new normal. So its not the governments fault . The liability is shifted to the people who then essentially do it themselves. Feeling noble about it. When this goes down the road of obedience and conformity this is how atrocities happen. Which is exactly why we are hearing calls for the Nuremberg code.. The excact same tactics from the exact same Books were used to compliment each other. These tactics are a century old but effective. Yet always lead down the same totalitarian road. I hope if your reading this you give this video another view and see what sticks out to you. Research this yourself. Self education is the only way out of this. Yet you must be able to identify it first. To decide if you want the control to change your behavior. Most people are failing miserablely at identifying it. I hope this helps. Thank you and much ❤ and respect to academy of ideas. There is so much great content stuffed into one of your videos. You could learn something new through repetition of views. The good kind of repetition.

Thank you for thus video. Does a far better job explaining propaganda fir others than I've achieve myself when trying to.

Well this has aged well...

First off, this was a very useful video to help educate my poor adult friends ;-) Secondly, and since its been brought up, just because Howard Zinn may have published inaccuracies in his books, that statement alone is not credible to render the use of the particular quote in the video invalid nor invalidate him as an Author. That was a common fallacy used in propaganda called Red Herring, which skirts the topic away from whats being discussed in order to undermine the discussion or argument. Thank you for the great lesson Saligia B. And since Saligia brought it up, I'd like to point out that Howard Zinn described exactly why he wrote what he did, and gathered the historic material that he did in the introduction to his book as not to mislead anyone. He explicitly warned the reader he was attempting to tell the tale of the "looser", since the common history we learn in school is usually events as told by the "winner." I suggest it as a good read. It's called A People's History of the United States. Its patriotic in the sense that there have been some great battles between good and evil on the soil of the USA and abroad that we should be proud of- even when the heros are the losers.

Repetition is a propaganda tool and the media made sure we were hit over the head with corona virus. Many images the media uses invokes an emotional response. It almosts prevents people from mounting any rational objection. If Heath Ledger were around today he would say that : It's the schemers that brought you the corona virus. The schemers that control your little world. You see, all they have to do is take their media and have them say "Corona Virus! Corona Virus! Corona Virus!" and everyone loses their minds!

It’s because monetization of the internet allowed for more mediums of communication to arise, which allows for more propaganda.

if people read psychology instead of cherry picking some facts of it it resonates with their feelings they would understand that their feelings or less than a quarter true and then propaganda wouldn't really work.
