Abstract

This is about propaganda and manipulation in our (information)society. It is about the creation of public and individual opinion, of our view of the world and of the neccessary illusions that make our system function. I raise and answer the following questions:
are we manipulated?
who does that?
why do they do that?
how does it work?

I talk about politics, media, corporations, pr industry and about psychological mechanisms of individuals and crowds. I do so because I believe that only (!) understanding these matters can help us escape manipulation and shape a democratic world.
