Propaganda has everything to do with language. You don't even notice it happening. The way information is framed shapes how you think about it before you've had a chance to actually think.

Propaganda has everything to do with language. You don't even notice it happening. The way information is framed shapes how you think about it before you've had a chance to actually think.
Watch how this works.
When the USSR acted, Western media said it "invaded" or "occupied." When the US acted, they "liberated" or "brought democracy."
Same action but with different wording it has completely different emotional response in your brain.
Russia "annexes" Crimea. The US "integrates" territories. Russia has "propaganda outlets." The West has "independent media" and "think tanks." Russia has "oligarchs." The West has "entrepreneurs" and "philanthropists."
Notice the pattern? Same with Iran.
And you absorbed all of this without questioning it. That's the entire point. You've been taught to see certain countries as threats and others as heroes simply through word choice repeated ten thousand times across every outlet you trust.
The information might be factually correct. But the framing makes you feel a certain way about it. And that feeling becomes your opinion.
