Okay, so I've been seeing quite a bit of panic over this (archive.is
The bill explicitly states that the name of the game here is COUNTER-PROPAGANDA, as in employing propaganda that refutes an adversary's propaganda, in this case, the imaginary propaganda used by Russia to influence the elections and undermine the establishment, and whatever crazy bullshit the Left believes right now. They fucking vex me.
So, what exactly is "Counter Propaganda?
This is a reactionary measure by the government, probably triggered (no pun intended) by their complete and utter failure this election. If you are good at spotting and resisting propaganda, which you should be if you're on Holla Forums, you should also be able to determine what is counter-propaganda, since the two, though different in how and when they're utilized, are based in the same principles. They both serve to influence the public's thinking and actions in a way that benefits the group using the propaganda.
Effective counter-propaganda will always seek to undermine the propaganda its fighting, AND the source of that propaganda. Counter-propaganda does this by establishing itself and its source and the truth sayer, and the adversary as the liar. This was done during the Cold War when the US would broadcast refutations of Soviet propaganda constantly, establishing the US's reputation as truth tellers, and the Soviets as liars.
However, the situation of the Cold War and the situation of today are different in that we have things like Wikileaks constantly exposing the truth. The truth is one the side of the people and the populist uprising springing throughout the West. So, I believe we can expect the same kind of tactics we've seen already from the kikes and Lügenpresse, in which intolerable moral differences between "them and us" are pushed and suggested to the public.
Just because factual information isn't on their side however, it does not mean that counter-propaganda aiming to stress these intolerable moral differences isn't an equivalent, or perhaps even more dangerous threat than the counter-propagandists simply being able to prove the adversary's information as objectively wrong. This is because of how fierce the fight over morality can be, and how, when views of a better society are fundamentally different, they become non-negotiable and firmly intractable on both sides.
The vector that facilitates this kind of conflict is not merely political in nature, but is also one based in culture. Part of the reason why we here on Holla Forums long for racial and cultural hegemony within our nations is precisely because of the fact that people who share the same culture tend to share the same world view, more or less. It strengthens a people against the fracture points that are otherwise blatantly apparent in a multicultural society. Beliefs, norms of communication, and expected behavior within society vary among different cultures until they are fundamentally and diametrically opposed to one another, giving rise to cultural clash.
When two groups have radically different ways of making sense of human life, it is likely that actions regarded by one side as good and prudent will be perceived by the other as evil or foolish
Counter-propaganda relies on these conflicts as well as negative stereotyping, condemnation of a source and all of its supposedly factual information, and the establishment of the counter-propagandists themselves as the truth tellers, and the adversaries as the liars. If something arises from this bill, it will most likely use these angles of attack.
