“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.” (Edward Bernays)
A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed the “engineering of consent”. During World War I, he was an integral part of the US Committee on Public Information, or CPI, a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise, and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy”. The CPI became the blueprint for the marketing strategies of future wars.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell, Propaganda, lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science, and education. To listen to this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regard to the organized manipulation of the masses.

It certainly has an impact - unless you consciously screen it out/ignore it (the “you can’t con someone who isn’t paying attention” principle). Or deploy the useful Jeremy Paxman rule of “why is this lying bastard lying to me?” During WW2, the peoples of Britain & Germany knew they were being lied to all the time. They used to (illegally) seek out the propaganda effusions of the other side, as a dubious balancing exercise.
Thanx for all the “forcing me to think” books.

If you try to consciously ignore propaganda, all the things you agree with will still be reinforced through confirmation bias. Our brains are treacherous! They’ve almost convinced us that “we” (our conscious thoughts) are in charge. Lol! As if!

We can impute it all to that infernal demon - the only one with the vats, brains, and diabolical, Mephistophelian motive to design such a hellish scheme!

If this topic interests you, I’d recommend this documentary, The Century of the Self (2002):

Good one, Andy. That’s an Adam Curtis series of films. He’s made many great documentaries. I saw that one on its original BBC broadcast. He specialises in that incisive, brain-twisting style, whereby the ground seems to shift beneath the viewer’s feet.
Psychoanalysis was at first meant to be this prodigious key to the hidden drivers of human behaviour; a magical means of accessing & unleashing human potential, saving us from our reliably destructive selves (overblown, of course). However, by the time Anna Freud got to Madison Ave, it was merely a method of selling cigars & handbags. Even our “subliminal perception” would be able to read that as a conspicuously fast turnaround for this empty “science” of the mind.
The Russian secret service guy at the end admitted that they abandoned their impractical joker, Manchurian Candidate approach, in favour of returning to Dostoevsky in order to comprehend the workings of the human mind.
