      Once you understand how powerful propaganda is, it becomes immensely tempting to use it yourself One of the reasons we've built an anti-reality machine is that journalism selects for people who are able to mindkill themselves to what they're doing

      The flip side of this is that it's impossible (and idiotic to expect) you can transmit the full understanding of what leads to a good, virtuous, and productive society to every member of it So some definition of "propaganda" is absolutely vital to keeping society functional

      This means that "propaganda" itself isn't an evil function, it's a neutral one. Its virtue depends on the truth it's derived from This might take the form of tradition, religion, Party doctrine, journalism, etc

      Most if not all other forms of "propaganda" will admit that they're doctrine. They believe—rightly—there's nothing *wrong* with doctrine. It's necessary Journalism is the unique outlier. It requires people built to lie to themselves about the very nature of what they're doing

      The thing that World War SSC vs NYT has revealed nakedly bare is that journalists consider themselves *anti*-doctrinists. They purely believe that they have no special motives, malice, or ideological drive They consider themselves pure truth-seekers. From three different pieces:pic.twitter.com/zp0PJQUhJM

      So the doctrine of the journalist isn't fixed: it's whatever we've decided is "truth," today. There is *one* comparison to the propaganda of modern journalists, but it's so on the nose that it's been made embarrassing to sayhttps://twitter.com/17cShyteposter/status/1316232473349517320 …

      Here's the kicker: journalism believes itself the product of "objective, disinterested truth," but if you forced every single NYT writer to read this study Clockwork Orange-style, *not a single one* would dare to write a piece exploring it "objectively"http://archive.is/rjs7R

      They instinctively decide what the story is. In this case "the story" isn't the claims - it's the fact it was written. Who wrote it? Why? What does his employer think? Trying to get them to write about the content is like trying to push negative poles of a magnet together

          Note that the resulting story will be double and triple fact checked to make sure they don't get the author's home town or employer wrong. This is called "objectivity"
