It's not even propaganda.

Fifty years ago, sociologist Alvin Toffler wrote a book called "Future Shock."

His premise was that massive changes were coming because the Industrial Era was dying and the Digital Age was coming.

People would act irrationally because they could not, or would not, be able to handle new world.

People aren't learning new propaganda lessons, they are pining for a past that never was.

Have you seen the white house lately? Have you seen Fox News? There's other factors but if you're trying to claim the world doesn't have a propaganda problem you might have lost your mind. It's effective because people are pining for a part that never was
