    Cara me fala o que você está fumando porque eu não quero nem experimentar.

    At the same time you claim the US to be this amazing propaganda machine that the world has ever seen, it is at the same time too weak to extinguish a few measley books and documentaries that are apparently not part of their propaganda.

      Tell me you don’t understand propaganda without telling me you don’t understand propaganda. Maybe read Edward Bernays book Propaganda, or Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent, or Parenti’s Inventing Reality. The propaganda model has been extensively analyzed and there is no doubt in anyone who has done the research that the U.S. and its media apparatuses are the single largest producer of propaganda in the entire world.

      Yes. Because being able to publish propaganda is very different from being able to censor information that is published in another country.

      The US creates an overflowing amount of propaganda and they can push that to other countries. But they can’t come in here and take books away from libraries and bookstores. That’s not how things work.

      Their strategy is to drown the truth. And they’re really good at it.
