Quote by: Boetie The term, manufactured consent was coined back in the early part of the twentieth century. Also back then Americans were considered pacifist. It was the use of propaganda that lured American into the first world war.
Is anyone aware that conservative think tanks back in the 1960's vowed to steer the country to the right? By the 1990's these think tanks were armed with a cash of over billions of dollars just for that purpose.
Do you think they have succesfully manufactured consent, that is to say, they have used the same technique an advertising agency would use and America fell for it hook line and sinker?
Those that have used manufactured consent techniques have been way ahead of the game and the masses have been way behind. Even today the masses still haven't caught onto the tricks used against them. |
Yes, I think they have been successful. They have steered the country away from what I would consider a normal direction.
