Egos

This work was created in January 2022. I made this after I suffered a seriously bad panic attack that nearly put me in the hospital. I want to say that it is about life but that seems a bit too serious for what it is. As of now I am not even sure if it is worth remembering.

However, despite the longevity of war, propaganda is a somewhat new addition. Propaganda exists to sway public opinion on conflict or policies, either by showing the glory of one’s own morals, or the evils enabled by the enemy's. It is an artform that can be used or abused and has proved to be very powerful. If history is written by the victor, then propaganda is the prelude to that inevitability. That being said, Propaganda is not always effective and can be detrimental in more ways than one. So, let’s try and understand propaganda, it’s purpose, effective use, and especially it’s failures.      In the ancient world, propaganda was less motivated by war and more created to lend credence to the reign...
