This video is a critique of JT Chapman, the YouTuber behind the Second Thought Channel. It takes up Chapman's ideas on propaganda and places them in historical context. How should we understand propaganda in the context of the current war on disinformation? Can there be anything more than propaganda when the government is attempting to censor "the whole of society"?

Posting this essay just because of the general topic of propaganda came up, because I think it provides a valuable perspective and argument towards propaganda and "brainwashing" being a two sided affair that the "propagandized" participate in, to certain extents.
