Talk:Propaganda techniques

How is the image propoganda?
Its pretty factual on the hierarchal system of capitalism. Barnacles14 (talk) 19:37, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @Barnacles14 Propaganda isn't when a piece of media is factually incorrect, it's when a piece of media is attempting to convince its audience to take a certain course of action or believe a certain set of ideas. Persuading an audience can be achieved with both fact and fallacy; in fact, using accurate information tends to be very persuasive.
 * The image in question, for example, describes the state of affairs in capitalism at the time it was produced, in an effort to persuade the audience that the system is unfair, and in turn to start taking steps to fight against it. (Personally, I'm not a big fan of capitalism, so I agree with the aims of this propaganda) --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 12:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

more propaganda techniques
please consider adding "false analogy" as a propaganda technique. I can't do that because english is not my native language. "A False analogy is an informal fallacy. It applies to inductive arguments. It is an informal fallacy because the error is about what the argument is about, and not the argument itself."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.237.205.47 (talk) 22:39, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Propaganda
A number of propaganda techniques based on social psychological research are used to generate propaganda. Many of these same techniques can be classified as logical fallacies, since propagandists use arguments that, while sometimes convincing, are not necessarily valid. Propaganda techniques emerge from abusive power and control tactics 124.107.42.90 (talk) 02:49, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

"Specific Techniques" section
Currently the "Specific Techniques" section is unfocused and disorganised. It reads like a glossary of buzzwords. There are multiple images, but it is unclear which techniques they correspond to. This section could be improved by grouping the techniques into categories, and by editing the image captions to make it clear which techniques they refer to. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 08:46, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
