Western and eastern spy openly meet in a bar during the cold war.
Western spy: I have to admit, we do good work, but your propaganda is great. Hats off. Eastern spy: Oh, no, no, we’re always struggling to keep up with the level and intensity of your propaganda, ours is simply child’s play in comparison. Western spy (confused look): Our propaganda?
It’s not even coming from the government. We make our own propaganda ourselves without even realizing!
A lot of it does come from the government initially, but then people reproduce it unconsciously all on their own.
I meant more like movies, Tv and medias. In particular those that aren’t paid by the state. They are paid by rich capitalists and therefore share their ideology.
Sure, and the state itself ultimately represents the class that holds power, so both private and public sector media tends to paint a similar narrative.
