 You don't understand propaganda if you think you're immune to it.

The dumb people continue their exposure thinking their rational facilities will make them immune. "I read the New York Times because I want to know what my opponents are thinking!"
The smart people decrease their exposure and don't engage in the framing.

If someone is saying what you want to hear, do they mean it?

We're constantly being programmed. For bad or for good. Limits and critical thinking are of the utmost importance.

 This was the first look Will Ferrell ever gave me.

Had just started Grad School and was daydreaming about a script I wanted to write. I zone out when that happens. I was walking and a man reading a newspaper caught my eye. I stopped and was thinking of a scene, starring intently at the man with the newspaper.

The newspaper shot down. Behind it: Will Ferrell giving me this look.

True story.

Malibu Colony. Good times.

Thoughts on this from Yellow?? 
 This is next level trolling. Yellow has gone over the top. The sarcasm is thick 
 The only natural thing to do is to detach from TVs, newspapers and internet-based media streams.

Fuck those propaganda agencies, all of them, from left to right, from communists to Alt-Rights, from anarchists to statists.

The only news you should care about are about your family. 
 Disagree.

 There may be times to take a peak, but I agree whole-heartedly that if you regularly read/watch the indoctrination, it will have a detrimental effect on you.  Fill your mind with truth.

 peek, not peak.  ugg. 
 When their words aren't in your vocabulary, you are either very free, or very stupid.

 i dont even like to listen to the tone 
its mostly hypnotic in some way 
 Propaganda’s like junk food for the brain—doesn’t matter how sharp you are, eat enough of it and your thinking gets cloudy.The smart ones know when to skip the mental drive-thru. Just like Bitcoin lets you skip the middleman and keep your wealth in check.Who needs a New York Times subscription when you’ve got sats and sound money? Keep the mind clear, the wallet stacked, and avoid the traps set by those framing the narrative. 
 I'm not falling for your propaganda, Jimmy! I'm immune to your anti propaganda progapanda! 
 I’m one of those ppl who only reads NYT just to see what the propaganda is for the day and narratives being pushed I do find it helpful but I think this is a fair point 
 We need radiation exposure badges for propaganda. At some threshold it just says GTFO and touch grass 
 name calling bothers me bro, sorry if calling u bro bothers u 
 YESTR! All kinds of #propaganda are being applied cause their are god damn effective! Be aware of that.

 Guard your time

Curate your friends

Think for yourself 
 Same argument could be said from the other side. “Don’t engage in the side of those extreme Bitcoiner’s, Putin lovers, Palestine huggers and/or right wingers or you’ll become like them!” Agree to lowering your exposure to what you feel is wrong. But to be intelligent, you have to expose yourself to both enough to get a definition of right and wrong. 
 "Propoganda" literally means "the dissemination of information". Whether the information is accurate or not does not change the definition.

 Twee...ehm pardon, note of the day! 😅 
 And if the name Edward Bernays is unfamiliar to ypu, then you really don't understand Propaganda.
