General Discussion

and I have pointed out many times how ignorant most of the population is about propaganda techniques and how to spot them. It is well known that constant exposure to conditioning messages decreases the level of objective examination in people. In other words they don't have to think about complex things because the answers will be reassuringly provided to them on a regular basis.

They are conditioned to accept conditioning. They are told that all issues are defined with easy simple words like "dangerous", "illegal", "patriotic", "pro-life", "family friendly", "grooming", "job creators" etc. The buzz words get repeated over and over in show after show and speech after speech by politicians and others. They have specialists in "communications"/propaganda who shape when to use which words, how often during a day and how to alternate them with the "solution" words.

They know these things because they use people in research groups all the time and measure how they respond to every nuance. They know the colors to use while showing images and how often and in what order to use them to get a response. They are way beyond Pavlov.
