Board Owner Manifesto
I have an understanding that if you are using 8chan there is probably a good chance you are aware of the propaganda in our lives. However, even people in the know already can still fall prey to propaganda. It is in our cognitive bias behavior that we are left vulnerable to dismissing some things as being propaganda because it appeals to one or more of our belief structure(s). Then there are others that are able to see and understand when propaganda is being used in other parts of the world, like the always kek worthy N. Korean propaganda, but seem to have trouble spotting it in their own country. This isn't just a board about merely acknowledging that propaganda exists. It is also meant to encourage discussion of propaganda from around the world, and how it has affected the world. To encourage people to put forth what they think is propaganda to be examined. To encourage people to dissect potential propaganda for their real meaning, and expose the lies. I also encourage raiding for the cause. Coming up with places on the internet to call attention to it. I have been apathetic to the propaganda for a long time, could see it didn't care too much about trying to get others to see it either, but then I realized that is exactly what they want. I am not a fan of complying with someone's orders, whether they are direct or implied, and the order to do nothing about this has been implied for years. So I will be posting and making threads in here about propaganda, I will be posting any and all ideas I have about exposing propaganda to the masses, and I welcome anyone to join me in any part of this venture. Hey, if you don't want to do anything about it, or have serious discussion, then post and watch (and enjoy) video content. Like I said earlier North Korean propaganda, among others, have some pretty entertaining vidya.

The videos for the European people.
Propaganda from around the world
I present to you all some delicious North Korean propaganda. I will post more, not just from Korea, and i encourage others to do the same.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to be rude when you mentioned the pdfs. My post should have been worded in a different way.
Thank you for showing an interest in the topic.

Public Relations = Propaganda
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
“Men (people) are rarely aware of the real reasons which motivate their actions.”
― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
“But being dependent, every day of the year and for year after year, upon certain politicians for news, the newspaper reporters are obliged to work in harmony with their news sources.”
― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
Public Relations Dedicated Discussion
As a management function, public relations also encompasses the following:
Anticipating, analyzing and interpreting public opinion, attitudes and issues that might impact, for good or ill, the operations and plans of the organization.
Counseling management at all levels in the organization with regard to policy decisions, courses of action and communication, taking into account their public ramifications and the organization’s social or citizenship responsibilities.
Researching, conducting and evaluating, on a continuing basis, programs of action and communication to achieve the informed public understanding necessary to the success of an organization’s aims. These may include marketing; financial; fund raising; employee, community or government relations; and other programs.
Planning and implementing the organization’s efforts to influence or change public policy. Setting objectives, planning, budgeting, recruiting and training staff, developing facilities — in short, managing the resources needed to perform all of the above.
Propaganda in the media
Watch with an open mind, please. Try to watch before posting ITT. It is an hour, but it is worth taking your time out to watch then discuss.
Don't have time to watch?
Well I cannot stop anyone from expressing what they think about propaganda in the media, but if it is not in relation to this vidya please post your own citation(s) for what you have to say.
Here's a good conversation starter.
