PREHENSILE PROPAGANDA
Propaganda influences humans' thoughts and behaviors profoundly.
Unlike animals, whose noses and/or tongues, confirm or reject visual appearances, neither humans' scent, hearing, sight, touch, nor taste, are very effectual against propaganda.
Propaganda is cunningly crafted visual, textual, and aural images, rationales, or explanations, that deliberately delimit, "dumb-down," or define, confine, the extraordinary sweep of human perceptions to those sweet confections of prescribed conceptions, repeatedly and purposefully, prepared by wide varieties of propagandists for selective human consumption.
Propaganda is resisted, first, by knowledge of its impactful presence; then, by strenuous and continuous efforts to resist its ministrations, by newer knowledge assiduously acquired by study, by comparative communications, and by observation of its affects on the unwary, or the heedless. Such resist its baleful ever-evolving, human-narcotizing taints.
Those who do not or cannot resist its prehensile malefactions are prey, wrapped in fine silken webs for later gustation, like a spider's victims.
Resist, resist, resist!
