   while the humiliation ritual might sound brutal, at some point the truth becomes so obvious, it isn't humiliating - everyone sees the emperor cavorting about, and you see his wrinkly old ass, and it just makes you angry - at that point it's about the elite grasping at sand.

     @Pawlicker yes. I've mentioned this before, but people who want to be fooled are easy to fool. This is what conmen exploit. But this is a long con, so it is harder to keep people wanting to be fooled as everything falls apart.

     @sickburnbro I have, on occasion, listened to MSNBC broadcasts and they have repeatedly stated that "the economy is doing great, we don't know why people are complaining!!"; meanwhile staples of life like food has sharply gone up in price and it appears the only things that didn't go up in price much has been alcohol and electronic consumer devices/parts.

     it's not just the jew tunnels, it's everything, except when they are able to tell the truth maliciously. then they do that.

     @eisai @sickburnbro This is just a restatement of a quote from Theodore Dalrymple:
     
     "In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control."
     
     This quote was in a larger context of comparing political correctness to communist propaganda.

     @sickburnbro It was an entertaining read, added to my collection. Also it made me chuckle at the britbong, who thinks, that the Soviet ideologists could name a situation “we’re too lazy to allow anything happening” a method and to give it a name after some art schizos from Europe and USA. This assumption implies that
      - the KGB (SVR or whatever) officers cared about foreign(!) modern(!!) art
      - and that they understood(!) it
      - and that they weren’t arrogant self-absorbed officers of an Empire like their counterparts across the Atlantic
      - actually, the britbong doesn’t exactly refer to the state agency officers, he just says “the Soviets”. This implies, that all people in the SU would know about hyperrealism and could easily associate some artsy stuff from abroad (iron curtain, you bastard, where did you run off to?) with their surroundings.
     
     Also the “britbong” seems to be unaware, that the Soviets – who sure did find the state of things, that they were living in, surreal – had their own idea about weird inconsistencies, and that in the common folk those idea were reflected in the Strugatsky books (one film too), Vysotsky songs, in the passionate love for “Alice in the Wonderland” and its homages, stories known yet from the time of the Russian Empire etc. So if “hyperrealism” would knock on the door, he would find a loud party going on.
     
     On the other hand, the “britbong” expects *his reader* to know about hyperrealism, and indeed, for people in Europe (that wasn’t communist) and in America that word rings a bell. The propaganda always works on something *that you already know*, and this gives out who it s aimed at.
     
     I came and can sleep well now. Good night.

     @CoQ_10 @sickburnbro Uh-huh, there’s nothing new under the sun. I wonder, though, what communists could he study, working all his life in Africa and England. I mean, what he (and his followers) imply, is that there was /an intention to humiliate/, that the propaganda was purposefully done this way. While in fact, after the boost given in the Civil war of 1918⁠–⁠1922, its power quickly dwindled down. In the presence of the “iron curtain” the officials got relaxed and cared about the propaganda only in terms of “portrait of Lenin is present, a quote from Stalin added, censorship is enforced” – the completing of requirements, which allowed their bosses, officials of a higher rank, to report “All is OK!” further up. In the Soviet Union propaganda was called ‘kondovaya’ – “thick”, “clumsy” (originally a term for construction timber) for a reason. The ingenuousness of communist propaganda was reflected also in the “Honecker’s letter”. In this address to Germans the author (which may or may not be the actual Honecker), reprimanded the former DDR citizens for being overly confident. They thought of themselves too high, “seeing through” the communist propaganda (which wasn’t hard), and thought that they know all about the West – while the West wasn’t telling all the truth then, as it doesn’t say it now. It’s in the line of the general “hope you’re happy with your Turks” message. On the West, however, there was always a demand in works that would portray Soviet system as the ultimate inhuman personality-suppressing evil. And that’s I’m not touching Dalrymple’s “Early Life” yet.
