I just graduated college and took my capstone on propaganda. Not the just the history of it but also its evolution, how it works, and what makes the best propaganda.

With the ‘unbanning’ of tiktok and the inauguration being within a day of each other a lot of propaganda has been thrown at us. I want to share what is called “the ten rules of hate” from Matt Taibbi’s book “Hate: Inc: why today’s media makes us despise one another”, which was published in 2019.

To give some context for the ten rules, Taibbi says in this chapter (chapter two) regarding the news cycle, "after generations of doing the opposite, when unity and conformity were more profitable, now the primary product the news media sells is division."

But before I state the rules I just want to remind everyone PROPAGANDA OCCURS ON BOTH SIDES. Neither side is better than one another when it comes to propaganda, it is a necessity. I say this as a democrat who believes the next four years are going to be hell. Just today I saw propaganda from both sides, ironically fitting into these ten points.

THE TEN RULES OF HATE:

There are only two sides

The two sides are in permanent conflict

Hate people, not institutions

Everything is somebody else's fault

Nothing is everyone's faults

Root, don't think

No switching teams

The other side is literally Hitler

In the fight against Hitler, everything is permitted

Feel superior

What most people get wrong about propaganda is that its intention is not change your thought process immediately, no. The purpose of propaganda is to nudge you in a certain direction. Whether that be you seeing that trump unbanned tiktok and for a split moment you think 'maybe he isn't so bad' or seeing an instagram post from Path2Progress saying 'it's a dark day in America' and you get a tinge of fear.

I am making this post because I want you to be able to look at the media you are soaking up and be able to notice that people are trying to manipulate you. Of course, there are other points to propaganda that I did not get in here as I could write several papers on this subject, which I have.

And before anyone says in the comments, "but Trump is literally Hitler", I'm just going to point out that this cycle of calling people Hitler started long before Trump's presidency in 2016. Glenn Beck, who's a conservative commentator really began the "Your neighbor is literally Hitler" movement. In Taibbi's book he writes, "Beck was awesome at this. Al Gore was Hitler. Obama was constantly Hitler." I know must Democrats would not consider these men to be Hitler, but I use this example to demonstrate its use in years past on the other party.

I am going to leave you with a quote from one of the first books written about modern propaganda. It's called "Propaganda Techniques in the World War" and was written by Harold Laswell, then published in 1927.

“But by far the most potent role of propaganda is to mobilize the animosity of the community against the enemy, to maintain friendly relations with neutrals and allies, to arouse the neutrals against the enemy, and to break up the solid wall of the enemy.”

We're back for Chapter 4 of my sfw Bakudeku Comic! If you have missed the first chapters, I suggest downloading (the links for chapters 1-2 aren't updated on my posts and don't work, but you could just go back on my blog). The file linked above is too big for virus scan, but here's a slightly worse quality file which is smaller!)

A huge thank you to @mamapyjama for beta reading these chapters! And thank YOU all for sticking along or maybe deciding to drop by for a first read- comics like these take time and patience to create, and your comments have kept me motivated for all those months! <3 Now to my own comments to the pages above:

I was wondering about what to do with Shoto in this cover, and then it came to me. (this is for you SeroRoki lovers out there)

Please note Aizawa morphing into Monoma when no one is looking. (It was an accident but when I noticed it, it was too funny not to leave in)

Reminder to anyone who reads/writes fanfiction: buy a hard drive/flash drive/whatever you can get your hands on and download as much fanfiction as you can.

Once tr*mp hits office, one of the first things related to project 2025 is the banning of porn and all sexually explicit material. This can and will include fanfiction off of here, AO3, Wattpad, etc.

If they’re small one shots, print them off so that you have physical copies. If they’re too big to print, either do it in multiple sittings or download onto a flash drive. Downloading to your files is no longer a good option. You need something physical that is separate from your main device.

I hate that this is what we’ve come to, but we’re literally doing this prohibition style.

As a side note, make sure that if you’re reading any books involving queer content, that will most likely be counted as sexually explicit once these laws go into effect. Start stock piling on any books you’ve been planning to buy. There are several lists of books that will be banned, so go look at those if you need any ideas.

Edit: thank you @theladyoffangorn for letting me know to include this! AO3 will be very low on the list of things targeted by these new laws! The biggest issue for fanfic readers is that more authors will be deleting, orphaning, or putting their works on private. Make sure to check out the AO3 subreddit if you need any help with downloading fics. Remember, laws like these take time, so this will not happen right away. You have time to get your bearings, so please do not panic like I did while writing this.

Also, I understand this post is very frenzied and rushed, and I do apologize. Like I said, please do not read this and immediately start panicking. My intention is only to help, not cause more distress. If anyone needs to talk, I’m always available and online!

I need everyone to immediately tag me any time you see a Trump x Vance fanfic, art piece, etc.

For a project. For prosperity. Just in case. It will be used in the best of ways.

If any one of my posts is to break containment, make it this one.

Before January 2025, download your favorite fics, especially those with smut or queer content.

If Project 2025 goes into effect (which it very likely will now that we have three red branches of government in the US), they may attempt to restrict the use/sharing of media on sites like ao3.

This particularly applies to fics with smut or any type of queer content, because the official Project 2025 document states, "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance... has no claim to First Amendment protection... Pornography should be outlawed."

Now, I don't expect ao3 to disappear or go anywhere without a fight, but it's best to be on the safe side these days.

To download your favorite fics:

Go to archiveofourown.org and open the fic you want to download.

At the top right corner, to the right of the 'subscribe' button, is a button that says 'download'. Click it.

A drop-down menu will give you the option to choose the format of your download. Choose your preferred format (.epub and .pdf are my personal favorites -- .epub lets you open a fic in the apple books app and .pdf is compatible with like every device and program out there).

When you click the button for your preferred format, a pop-up window appears confirming your choices. The title of the document will default to the title of the fic, so be aware of that and consider changing conspicuous titles to something ignorable, especially if you share the computer.

You're done! Now do this with all your favorite fics!

Stay safe out there, your favorite characters are rooting for you <3
