Episode 4: The Cow Goes Quack

“Approved Messaging Only”

Throughout human history, we can see many examples of how propaganda, disinformation and the denial of truth have all effectively been used as powerful tools to manipulate the masses. In order to be effective, propaganda has to be both believable and acceptable. Propaganda is a lot more strategic and subtle in its present-day execution. It’s more difficult to pinpoint any sole perpetrator because the claws of manipulation are so systemically spread throughout society that it’s considered to be culture.

In this episode we’ll discuss how intellectual sleight of hand is adopted and weaponised. We’ll analyse the tactics people use to convince us that the absurd is the norm, war is peace and that cows go quack.
