Stories are propaganda, virii that slide past your critical immune system and insert themselves directly into your emotions. ↗
The result of this is that so-called peace propaganda is just as dishonest and intellectually disgusting as war propaganda. Like war propaganda, it concentrates on putting forward a ‘case’, obscuring the opponent’s point of view and avoiding awkward questions. ↗
