I was surprised how hard it is to creat a piece of propaganda. I guess it is one of those things that seems so effortless when it is done by people who really know what they’re doing. I kept trying to think about the techniques we learned in class and apply them, but my idea (showing the subjectivity of the word patriot by pasting the head of a “terrorist” onto the body of a colonial militiaman) didn’t exactly lend itself to the dangling comparative or superlative swindle. I think that propaganda is more easily applied to simple issues. Or maybe propaganda just simplifies issues, deduces them to easily conceivable ideas, which in a way is an injustice in itself.
