What's the difference between trumpaganda and antitrumpaganda?

Is it even a word? And if it isn't should it be?

And my apologies to all those Muggers who are sick to death of the Trump/No Trumps questions.

  • Is this some crazy Oz talk?

  • Probably. It came up in an answer to another question and I threw it into the ring to see what happened.

    Should be words definitely. Like any propaganda, they aren't truth. They sell a story in ways we want others to see them. Oh. That wasn't the difference, hmm. Maybe there isn't any?

  • I haven't heard this many lies since Herr Goebbels was propaganda minister for Germany.

  • Only a matter of time before the infomercial/infotainment model was applied to news and politics I suppose.

  • The man himself. :)

    I was once discussing Goebbels with my neighbour who had been in the Luftwaffe. I said, "We probably had somebody like that too but I don't know who it was." And he replied, His name was Churchill."

  • I looked his photo up on Google...confirming this is to indeed be Goebbels himself. A remarkable GIF.

  • Yes I have learned much of WWII from you, Rooster, especially the War in the Pacific...and now these GIF's are just very powerful. I am glad they were somehow not lost or destroyed...brought a small gasp...because I just knew you would be posting the real thing.

  • After the fiasco of WWII propaganda a poll was taken in the US about whether they should broadcast propaganda on Radio America. The answer was a resounding no. The same people were then asked, "Doi you think we should broadcast the American point of view?" And this time there was an overwhelming yes. Words can have an enormous impact.

    Is about wordings, and this is why we still discuss every matter as we use different wordings, and/or define them differently. Propaganda however, is used all the time to try turn opinion into some locked set of thoughts. Hmm.

  • And the spin doctors arose -- a whole new breed in the political arena. Well, they were always there, but it's only in the last 30 or 40 years we've really become aware of them.

    Suddenly it was a flair openly to admit that you try manipulating others. Just like the lobbyists are openly admired. Since when is manipulating others a flair? Huh?

  • Not in my book. It's just sleight of mouth as practised by the unscrupulous.

    Oh. Sorry. Didn't mean you in person. I would have been surprised if so. I was thinking of society and the standards we all, as part of society are allowing. Oomph.

  • Sorry, my reply was misleading. I knew you weren't talking about me. 

    "Not in my book" isn't a literal comment but a phrase used generally.

    I know the phrase, but wanted to make sure. Can't afford my guardian angel joining the conspiracy against me here at aM. Those three others already have done enough damage. Grrr.

  • I didn't know about the conspiracy. I haven't seen it. I could probably take some guesses and maybe work out a couple of them. 

    Back later, maybe.

    Not you. Not you, my guardian angel. But you dozed off while these evil people spread their slander to make sure I won't win another poll. It's rigged, and it's a conspiracy. I tell you. They use antisapphiganda to get into the heads of my good people. Oomph. ;-) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 22, 2017 1:34 PM MDT
