Lying vs. Propaganda

Doing as Elluls suggests is not rhetorically difficult. The propaganda market doesn't care about the truth, they first care about obediently saying what the Big Stick tells them to say. Like, can't you even manage to mouth the platitudes, lol? Do you want to get hit? 

You can just order the propaganda market to say black is white and down is up. Just tell them BLM made the black death rate jump, then tell them that's a good thing. "It's racist when blacks don't murder each other constantly." 

But, given that you're just telling them what to think, why bother with this? You can just flat-out lie, it's fine. Tell them it's racist to think the murder rate has gone up. The FBI has stopped publishing crime statistics, you can't even get gotcha'd on Twitter (which is irrelevant to opinion; Twitter doesn't have a Big Stick). 

The real constraint is that the propagandee has to like the results.

Bantu like BLM because they want to suffer as a result of frequent violence and death.
Libshits like BLM because they want Bantu and Bantu-bearing neighbourhoods to suffer as a result of frequent violence and death.

All other ancillary constraints are also merely things the propagandee wants. They don't want to have to admit to these fundamentally malicious motives. They could play a different game where being openly malicious is fine, they merely happen to be playing the other game because they truly crave dishonesty. They don't want to sound like children; they want the propaganda to be polite and respectable, not "Grug grunt happy fer BLM." Even smart propaganda-buyers are fine with stupid propaganda as long as the modal buyer doesn't think it's stupid, as that would make the seller look stupid and thus the "smart" person would look stupid to stupid people. 

 

The results of the propaganda is based on the modal customer, in particular what they think the logical result would be. As you might imagine, their logical faculties are...interesting. Not very consistent. The propagandist often has to give them a hint so they can work out what the result is supposed to be. There is perhaps a small constraint in that good propaganda is the kind where [explaining the results] is cheap.


Ironically, Gnon has the biggest stick. Reality bites back. As the propaganda cancerously metastasizes, the results become more and more violently opposed to Reality, and Reality cannot lose. Satan's rebellion is always doomed to utter failure.
