16 May 2016 - propaganda rule

One of the basic rules of propaganda is that whenever you do or claim something questionable, accuse others of the same. At worst you’ll give the impression that everybody’s dirty. Once you know the rule, world events become easy to interpret.

China: The U.S. is militarizing the South China Sea!
U.S.: ISIS is facing cash and manpower shortages!
Volkswagen: The vehicles of all manufacturers exceed emissions limits in normal street use!
Daily Whale: Propaganda can’t be taken at face value!
