This is how we defend ourselves against propaganda
Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet and today's troll factories bring to mind black influence, what we think of as propaganda. The question is what propaganda really is. Is it always about slander, ideologically driven untruth and strong emotions? The answer is both yes and no. It is simply difficult to call in what the difference is between influence in general and propaganda. In order for propaganda to work, it is required that we are receptive, that there is a tender point in us as individuals or in society as a whole. The most worrying thing is that we as recipients can become part of this process. But the reassuring thing is that we can prevent it from happening. During this talk, Gunilla Almström Persson will clarify some of the question marks.
