I recommend these
webpages to anyone interested in learning more about modern propaganda, that
way it functions, and its effects on contemporary society. The first webpage was
created by a team of independent journalists based in the U.S, and is dedicated
to sniffing out and opposing propaganda. Their self-described goal is “to
empower the American voter and decrease the ability of Russia to influence the
ensuing American election”. The second webpage I’ve linked is a Chinese subreddit
that focuses on the propagation of pro-communist articles, memes, and video
essays. The subreddit is infamous for censoring comments and posts that don’t fall
in line with CCP rhetoric, and using falsified statistics to disprove sources
criticizing the CCP. The third webpage I linked focuses more on corporate
propaganda. As corporations grow and become more ambitious, they find new ways
to change hearts and minds through propaganda. One example of this would be BP
(British Petroleum) forming right wing think tanks to come up with and spread climate
change conspiracy theories.
