It starts with marketing. Wait wait, hear me out. My boss used to work for a business school and they put out a lot of marketing grads, but the thing he found most fascinating about it was, if you asked like 80% of the marketing grads if marketing worked, they'd tell you no.  We can make constant nudges and tweaks to our reality but as a society even the people in charge of it dont admit it. So as human beings, we generally need narratives to make sense of the world. Yesterday a Jehovas witness told me this story about how a guy from Africa moved to the US, got heavy JW lessons and then went back to his Africa and that was great because he had faith in Jesus now (for some reason his village rejected him and he couldnt stay there???) and that was all that mattered. We need positive narratives and stories for society, so the question is not how do you dismantle mis/dis, its how to you give it no porous surface in peoples lives to exploit in the first place?

DrSunshine posted:Maybe what we should do is just do what Goebbels said and repeat something louder and more often, except instead it'd be the truth that we're repeating, rather than lies. The same people that would decry a concerted and coherent leftist messaging policy, love fox news. The war for hearts and minds already exists and its an exercise for the reader where you draw the line about what tactics are acceptable.
