Now listen up, this is important.
It's not what you think - or rather, it's all about what you think - subconsciously.
Words are the medium through which communication occurs.
But words come freighted with as many assumptions as meanings, and assumptions are treacherous, especially when not overtly stated. When we argue a topic on shared assumptions, we are unlikely to find much disagreement, but a proper argument about a topic should uncover our conflicting assumptions, or it must fail.
The objective of propaganda is to instil in the general populace certain desired assumptions about a particular topic through endless repetition until the association is firmly wedged into our subconscious.
"Russia Bad - Ukraine Good"
"Left Good - Right Bad" (who even knows what "Left" and "Right" mean anymore?)
"Communist Bad - Fascist Bad" (square this with the previous if you can)
"The NHS - Free at the Point of Use" = "The NHS - Hugely Expensive at Point of Taxation"
Oh good - it's all free! Yippee!
But how about:
"The NHS - (free) Sales Force for Big Pharma" (but go elsewhere otherwise and pay the tax anyway)
Not looking quite so good now is it?
So is the NHS there to serve the people (customers), or to serve the interests of Big Pharma (suppliers)?
I'd say it's "two - nil" to Big Pharma - so far ...
But bearing in mind that getting value for money is also taken out of the hands of the people and given to the government, and that it's actually illegal to claim a cure for the Big Pharma money-spinner (cancer) even if you can substantiate such a claim :
Maybe "four - nil".
Sorcery - the casting of spells - is not rocket science - it depends upon precisely this inculcation of erroneous (or untrue overall) assumptions within the minds of the people.
But there's more ...
Was it all foretold in the Bible ...?
Revelation 18-23 "All Nations were deceived by your φαρμακεiα"
('pharmakeia' in Greek = 'sorcerer' in English!)
Go figure.
