    None of those prove that a psychologist using well documented evidence on human psychology is the same as fucking nitwits naming monsters after people they didn’t like. I literally referenced the era of modern propaganda techniques, which coincides with a growth of the understanding of psychology in promoting propaganda. I didn’t say “propaganda never existed at all prior to the revolutions.”

    But keep ignoring specific words I use to try to convince yourself you’re right. Seriously, comparing psychologists to people who named monsters after disliked people. Fucking laugh riot.

      I’ll be waiting patiently for your semantic objection to something inconsequential in one of my sources so that you don’t have a bruised ego 😄

      Right on cue, champ!

      Honestly if you can’t see how invoking monsters to inspire fear is just a rudimentary employment of psychological warfare, I’m not sure you have any business speaking to psychology as a whole.

        You think you’re clever, but you’re not. I’m not sure someone whose education seems to be focused on an era where psychology didn’t exist as a discipline should be expounding on it, either.

        So, the people invoking monster names knew what psychological warfare was because they understood psychology? I call bollocks on that.

        But keep telling yourself you’re right and just misunderstood. I’m sure that will mean fuck-all when you’re dead and nobody remembers you existed, just like me.
