shortchangehero 4217 Share Posted September 13, 2024 Ar'Thur the elf, can be seen traversing the orcish realms handing out bottles of pills to everyone saying this, "hey, take these and read the label." The label if read warns others against believing what someone is told versing what someone sees with their own eyes. Ar'Thur smiles, he's doing his part against the Halfling propaganda.

Venomous_Pup 2978 Share Posted September 14, 2024 A Witch of Chaos ponders upon hearing of this Ar'Thur handing out these 'pills'"But is it also not be considered as a form of Propaganda by 'leading' people into your view point. Certainly no one wishes to be known as 'dumb' and posing to every individual they are 'thinking for themselves' while shoveling misinformation into their ears on the basis you can be trusted over 'think for yourself' is strangely counter-productive to the actual wording of 'think for yourself'. What of situations where some have 'heard' tale of how one conducts themselves, to find out, to see for themselves what they heard was true?"She muses, a hand rubbing at the Iron Maw over her features"To discredit information based on not actually 'seeing' it, I find foolish also. More often than not if many people across different backgrounds repeat the same thing, it is true. Not to mention, most people may not have the skills nor time permitted to 'see' for themselves, hence why you've various institutions with thought out methodology that is usually available to the public so with anyone with the knowledge can confirm or contest the claims presented. If one lived in a cave all their life, are they 'dumb' for believing the sky is blue? Would it not be better to counter Propaganda by pointing to its flaws, on the merit it presents itself?" 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
