If you think about it, propaganda is a form of demagoguery. It is abusing the sentiments and minds of ignorant people, in order to manipulate them towards selfish ends.
And this is not lessened by the fact of the patent self deception practiced so assiduously by so many acolytes of the left wing cult. Those at the core are near-conscious, and I think in their ranks are many cynics who are open to their own corruption.
It’s an ugly mess, as I say in various ways on various days.
And I will add that right now the social propaganda being foisted on those who have lost all other sense of purpose is serving to undermine their sanity yet further, distance them yet further from the shores of their own culture and history; and drown yet more thoroughly their capacity for reason and principle, or return to anything approaching mental and emotional health. All this, towards hellish ends.
I will comment that I listened to Hamlet last night. My prose always gets a bit, oh, let’s call it lyrical, or dramatic, or overwrought, or perhaps vaguely comical in excess, when I listen to Shakespeare. He warrants many readings.
I have ideas on Hamlet I may share soon. I think I understand his dilemma quite well.
