The Nine Principles of Propaganda:

1. LIE BIG Big lies
work better than small lies
because the masses
won't believe that anyone
would lie “about that.”

2. FOCUS Don't
make it complicated,
ignore history, keep it
simple for simple minds.

3. REPEAT People
cannot tell the difference
between facts and
familiarity. The same
words repeated over and
over will become true in
their minds.

4. BLAME Never
credit the other side,
always blame, debase,
defame, and dehumanize.

5. PROVOKE Outrage,
fear, and resentment are
more powerful than reason,
logic, or facts.

6. CRISIS Issues must
be life or death, good vs evil,
love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.

7. EMOTION A person
might question facts, but
they will never question their
own feelings. Go emotional.

8. PANDER Praise allies
generously, demonize all
who disagree as having bad
intentions or non-expert.

9. NO LIMIT The victor's
morality won't be questioned.
Morality is for losers.

@jeffowski What is your source for the information in this meme? These days especially we must not accept uncritically statements of fact with no source.

@null_hypothesis @DoomsdaysCW --

Almost like there are some actual principles of good graphic design or something...
