The fact that cdman thinks that some parts of rhetoric are just to “trick the masses”, regardless of their origin, doesn’t mean that he disagrees with the content of the message. For example we don’t call propaganda spreading christianity or democracy, but we have to admit that it’s done trough similar, if not the same, means. Plus, in my opinion, there aren’t lots of “objective” (if none) points of view on anything, thus we can say that almost anything that implicates convincing a large number of people could be called propaganda.

The fact that the post didn’t got “moderated” is just that people like you can realize to shut up once in a while. Or just say something worthwhile.

Also, besides the point was if he was a consumerist or not, because he pointed out the mean of communication and not the content of it. And I have a strong feeling that you are a consumerist too…but that is besides the point insn’t it?

go on… moderate my comment…
