      I’m a fan of the documentaries of Adam Curtis on Bernays, but merely educating people about the history of Propaganda/Public Relations/Advertising provides no useful skills for liberating yourself from harmful thinking patterns that benefit the rich and powerful. Merely knowing about it does not immunize you from it, and worse, may give you false confidence.

      A good place to start to understand how propaganda works in a modern nation is understanding the propaganda model. A good documentary about this is Manufacturing Consent.
