Once again yet another brilliant post @v4vapid .. bit late commenting on this one as I've had a few wi-fi issues but I'm very glad I bookmarked it! In my mind and in this age of technology, propaganda has been involved in an exponential process of evolution. I feel that this process has occured at such a pace that propaganda has overtaken the publics perception of what it actually is. It's become so cutting edge and so heavily nuanced that the majority are entirely unaware that their perceptions of the world are being manipulated like a puppet on a string.
"The next piece of the legislation will provide substantial amounts of money to fund “counter propaganda,”
From that statement we can see that (to a degree) the system needs some form of controlled "truth" and oppostion in order to justify it's own counter propaganda. .. both opposing ideals used to power and empower the system. A duality creating a cohesive whole that pushes the mass of society in a singular direction.
