This article originally appeared on VICE Canada.There is good propaganda, and there is bad propaganda.Good propaganda makes you feel nice about your country and—so long as you don't take it too seriously and begin invading Cuba or something—is pretty benign. In the past, good propaganda has informed women that they can, in fact, do it, and helped Americans win the war by eating corn.Bad propaganda can trick you into doing bad things, like taking up smoking because a vagina-faced camel told you to, or convince you that the party whose logo is a swastika isn't actually a neo-Nazi organization.
