When most people in the English-speaking world hear the word \u201cpropaganda\u201d, they tend to think of something that\u2019s done by foreign nations who have governments that are so totalitarian they won\u2019t even let people know what\u2019s true or think for themselves.<\/p>\n

Others understand that propaganda is something that happens in their own nation, but think it only happens to\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0people in\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0political parties. If they think of themselves as left-leaning they see those to their right as propagandized by right wing media, and if they think of themselves as right-leaning they see those to their left as propagandized by left wing media.<\/p>\n

A few understand that propaganda is administered in their own nation by their own media, and understand that it\u2019s administered across partisan lines, but they think of it in terms of really egregious lies like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or babies being taken from incubators in Kuwait.<\/p>\n

In reality, all are inaccurate understandings of what propaganda is and how it works in western society. Propaganda\u00a0is administered<\/a>\u00a0in western nations,\u00a0by western nations<\/a>, across the political spectrum \u2014 and the really blatant and well-known examples of its existence make up only a small sliver of the propaganda that our civilization is continuously marinating in.<\/p>\n

The most common articles of propaganda \u2014 and by far the most consequential\u00a0\u2014 are not the glaring, memorable instances that live in infamy among the critically minded. They\u2019re the mundane messages, distortions and lies-by-omission that people are fed day in and day out to normalize the status quo and lay the foundation for more propaganda to be administered in the future.<\/p>\n
