in order to sell World War I to the public Creel estimated 72 million copies of about 30 different booklets defining & preaching a "new American ideal" were sent across the United States as well as millions more throughout Europe.
the goal was to persuade the home population and those abroad to not interpret events from what Creel called a "class or sectional standpoint" but rather as a unified collective herded into what he referred to as "one white hot mass instinct" so the word civilization would transmute into the word democracy without requiring any real and/or proper definition of democracy to back it up.
oh and they renamed Sauerkraut ===> Liberty Cabbage around the same time.
see: when you're dealing with a nation of sleepwalking morons who can tell us who was booted off of Dancing With the Stars last week quicker than anything about the history of their own country you can use that same Freedom Fries trick almost 100 years later and so few will even know it happened.
so if and when anyone like me bothers you with the unfortunate truths about the United States of Amnesia & the painfully obvious characteristics it repeats like a broken record not only do you have I AM MOST DEFINITELY PART OF THE PROBLEM stamped on your clueless forehead but you are the exact dog George Creel trained you to be..................
100 FUCKING YEARS AGO
each & every time you play that "one white hot mass instinct" card by taking it personally you truly are a societal nuisance and you are MOST CERTAINLY no "patriot" Orwell clearly defined so many years ago. you're a NATIONALIST. that's a chump raising the HEIL HITLER hand in an old photograph not a modern free thinker worthy of any real respect. there's a BIG difference. you would probably understand that if your TV ever bothered to mention that crucial technicality or you read a few books on the subject or online commentary written by someone other than typically uneducated marginal Ameri-con trash desperately trying to say the right thing so the others stroke their "like" buttons.
but hey if it ain't broke don't fix it =======> right ???
yeah.
so good luck with that killin' the messenger ploy with anyone who actually utilizes a functioning brain.
real profound work Mr. or Ms. Bootlicker.
