048: What Propaganda Teaches Us About Virtue

Buried in each explanation are a series of assumptions about the world we live in. For example, mystics of propaganda speak as if all of society's problems can be boiled down to someone with power, be it government or a microphone, manipulating an otherwise good-willed populous. The assumption buried within is the idea that there is a fundamental difference between the propagandist, and the population. A distinction is made at the metaphysical level, which is buried within the compelling argument that "the people" are too easily controlled by propaganda.

While making an overt argument THAT propaganda has its effect on people, it imbeds a subtle implied argument HOW that happens. As a result, buried in a framework of the world we live in, the distinction between value and context is poorly plastered over.

From this description we can see the relationship between the experience of professional warfighters and the values imbedded within Gun Culture.
