The West is at war. And because of that, it’s worth remembering the ten basic rules of war propaganda that always apply when you read anything about the war.
- We didn’t want this war.
- The enemy is responsible for this war.
- The enemy’s leader is the devil.
- We’re fighting for a good cause.
- The enemy is using forbidden weapons.
- Horrible acts committed by the enemy are intentional; ours are accidental.
- Our casualties are minor; those of the enemy are significant.
- Artists and intellectuals support our cause.
- Our cause is holy/righteous.
- If you question (1)-(9), you are a traitor.
