More From Jacques Ellul

Among some of the organized methods used to control the world is the thing known and called propaganda. propaganda has done more to defeat the good intentions of races and nations than even open warfare. propaganda is a method or medium used by organized peoples to convert others against their will. we of the negro race are suffering more than any other race in the world from propaganda... propaganda to destroy our hopes, our ambitions and our confidence in self.
Ambition Self Confidence Race
A war film can be propaganda and they're very valuable as propaganda, as we realized in britain in the second world war. film as propaganda is a very valuable tool. it can also demonize, which is the dangerous side of a war film as propaganda. but there are war films that are not propaganda. it's just saying 'this is what it's like.' for 99 percent of us we don't know what it's like. we have no idea. so to reveal that to the audience is powerful.
Powerful War World
The person who imagined that he could not be the victim of propaganda because he could distinguish truth from falsehood, is extremely susceptible to propaganda, because when propaganda does tell the truth, he is then convinced that it is no longer propaganda: moreover, his self-confidence makes him all the more vulnerable to attacks of which he is unaware.
Self Confidence Doe Telling The Truth
The result of this is that so-called peace propaganda is just as dishonest and intellectually disgusting as war propaganda. like war propaganda, it concentrates on putting forward a ‘case’, obscuring the opponent’s point of view and avoiding awkward questions.
War Views Opponents
Propaganda's content increasingly resembles information. it has even clearly been proved that a violent, excessive, shock-provoking propaganda texts leads ultimately to less conviction and participation. the listeners critical powers decrease if the propaganda message is more rational and less violent.
Information Messages Propaganda
Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems. one stands up for nothing more than the normal running of the industry. philosophy interprets its corruption as the resurrection of metaphysics.
