Rinse and Repeat

Propaganda forms culture and in a sense is culture. The idealist illusion is that mass media of communication will create a mass culture. This so called 'culture' is just a way of destroying the individual man or woman and creating a mask or personality. The more an individual participates in the society the more he/she will cling to stereotyped symbols expressing collective notions about the history of the group. The more stereotypes, the better. The more participation, the more susceptible to manipulation.

Educated people are the first to be reached by propaganda.

An 'educated' man doesn't really believe propaganda. At least he'd like to think so. This is the first notion to effect into a propagandee. Get him to believe that he doesn't believe. Propaganda appeals to the educated ego. This is why the intellectual is the most vulnerable to propaganda. Political indoctrination and education is key.

There is no difference between information and propaganda. Historical argument is only incidentally effective. All propaganda must contain something about the political or economic reality. Information only has power by its connection with the interpretation of the facts or events. Opinions are aroused and oriented in a particular direction using the facts and it must be renewed and sustained to create an 'informed opinion'. This is known as the Rinse and Repeat mechanism. This only works if mass media is present for the population to consume.

Information must be made available to all for propaganda to work.

Propaganda means nothing without preliminary information loaded with pretty details to make it shiny and easily digestible. The broader and more objective the information, the more effective it will be. The greater the knowledge of political or economic facts, the more susceptible one will be to propaganda. Bald information without commentary can lead to acceptance of the a whole propaganda line. Keep it simple, keep it clean!

So you want information?

There always must be a reason in reality to create propaganda. Without a 'problem' and a 'reaction' to accompany it a 'solution' cannot be presented.

Mass media will magnify a problem on one side and suggest or promise a solution on the other. Problems don't necessarily need to exist, just a reason that it might exist.

An example: if one is inundated with daily information about economic facts, one will find it difficult to understand the density of the information presented, and one would therefore conclude that economic problems do exist. Even if one doesn't understand the facts completely. Maybe there really isn't an economic problem in the way we all think one exists.

When information is acquired on a mass scale an individual will feel his/her personal problems really are invested with the dignity of a general social problem. The results create identical 'centers of interest' for everyone to assimilate. Also, when new problems are presented it is easier to influence an audience with possible solutions. Non-structured opinion makes one more susceptible to influence. This leads to the creation of common reflexes and common prejudice. Of course, there will be individuals who will deviate from the common line, but their number is much smaller than generally believed.
