We do what we're good at. Propaganda shows the violence of hegemon's victims while hiding the violence they react against. Today's propaganda has a willing audience and volunteers lining up to provide it. No need for a dark "Ministry of Propaganda," or "Palace of Truth." In this heyday it can even afford to play with the strings, let them show, as part of the gloss of sophistication they so fashionably wrap themselves in. Meta-stories inside meta-stories, Russian dolls of intrigue for our enjoyment! Today's audiences, brought up on escapism demand plausibility and fight to maintain its veneer over their preferred fantasies. Everything is true. Yet it's all a lie.
Argo F… Yourself!
