i read your book and I liked it, but I can‘t see how lying to persuade is doing anybody any good.

Depends what one is persuading toward. Persuasion is a tool. If you use hyperbole to get to a greater good, everyone wins.

Like starting/perpetrating a conspiracy theory you know to be slightly untrue as long as it's noble end justifies it means? Isn't that what you Periscoped the other day?

Not being glib here (I know it's hard to tell on Twitter) but promoting a conspiracy theory you know to be untrue for (what you perceive to be) the greater good; isn't that just the definition of 'propaganda'?

Therein lies the problem, no? A propagandist will justify their subjective actions as a means to a better world, as they perceive it. Don't you think the Fourth Reich sought an eventual end to war, poverty & hunger as *they* saw it (via propaganda)?

The alternatives to doing what you think is right are a) Doing what you think is wrong, and b) Doing nothing. Which path is best for society?

Surely the Fourth Reich choosing option b) would've been the best path for society, no?

No, that was a sweet retort to Scott's point but he's blocked me for excessive Nazi talk unfortunately. It's a shame, I'll miss following him but how can you *not* refer to the Nazis when discussing propaganda as a positive force?
