I put this list together a while back and added to it as I ran across words that fit the subject of propaganda. In the list are the names of many of the tools the Propagandist uses that all start with the letter “D”,
division, distraction, diversion, disconnection, disillusion, dissatisfaction, discouragement, dislocation, domination, domestication, disheartenment, distrust, doubt, dread, distress, discord, disbelief, dismay, disgust, despair, deviancy and disarming…
Here’s a little word play,
If citizens are constantly divided by the Propagandist, who endeavors to distract us, by massaging our distrust of other’s, then he abuses our dissatisfaction, knowing it fosters an easy diversion from the dismay of finding the rich man’s hand ever deeper in our pockets. The Propagandist is also disarming citizens with disgust at the extreme deviancy of those that control us. Doubt causes dread, as distress feeds our disillusionment at finding ourselves domesticated. As the cycle of deceptions continue unabated, our discouragement is nearly complete as we feel dislocated by the disconnection from a society we think is lost.
But, do not feel disheartened, our domination is not complete, despair does not define us. Do not be Divided, or Distracted, and never be Diverted from seeing the Deceptions of the sly Propagandist. Standing united, we can turn this artificially manufactured discord to dust, and cheer at the disbelief in the eyes of those that seek to domesticate us.
A relevant quote comes to mind from the 1998 movie Bullworth,
Rich people have always stayed on top by dividing white people from colored people, but white people got more in common with colored people then they do with rich people…
The most disgusting thing to me, is that the Propagandist does his work tirelessly to divide us…unless there is a time when the Propagandist needs the citizens to show a united front. That is when disparate citizens are called to stand together to fight wars in foreign lands for the resources that those in Power covet...
I wonder what our Country could do if we were motivated to do good works for all our benefit?
