However it is encouraged to post from archives, where one can provide a proper source and better historical accuracy. Here is a very incomplete archives directory. Please comment if you have suggestions to add and I will add them :).

What is Propaganda?

Propaganda is the deliberate dissemination of information, ideas, or narratives aimed at influencing public opinion or behavior, often to promote a particular political, social, or ideological agenda. It can take many forms, including speeches, media, art, or advertising. While propaganda is commonly associated with manipulation or bias, it can be either good or bad depending on the intent and content. Positive propaganda may be used to raise awareness about important social causes or encourage beneficial public behaviours, while negative propaganda often involves misleading or deceptive tactics to manipulate beliefs for harmful purposes.

Bigotry

While propaganda may contain bigotry, we require that the only reason one posts it here is because of historical interest. Any intent of Bigotry from posters or commenters will be immediately banned!
