    Well, it worked so well on the home front, why not export it? At least in other countries in my observation, for the most part, the population pretty much knows it’s bs. They do not speak out for fear of harm or death. However, here in the US, average citizens don’t even blink. It’s gobbled up and regurgitated ad nauseam. Then, to seal this in the hearts and minds of America, they label those who would exercise their rights as an American citizen: ultra paranoid, schizophrenic, perhaps a bit mental. The American propaganda machine has no equals.

    It just happened that Trump discredited all previous US propaganda. So much resources invested to make the US look good, and it’s all gone.

      You don’t necessarily have to make yourself look good if you make the other guy look worse.

    We just have to accept that USA under Republicans is a hostile country, and try to take precautions.

    What is wrong with using the best of psychological warfare to manipulate people? - A question the US government never asked.

      Imagine a maddening voice
      coming out of the sockets in your house
      the only way it will ever stop
      is to go scorched earth
      and you find a way that isn’t violent,
      not nukes, not viruses just something unanticipated
      something you can’t even point a gun at and destroy
      that makes “it” all end somehow

    The best US propaganda has always been the arts. Music, movies, literature and games. Replace it with AI and you get the type of slopaganda that doesn‘t really work. Especially since everyone can do it. The USA is just paving it‘s way further into irrelevancy.

    Of course. Why let Russia and China have the monopoly on making the world a worse place.
