Quote by Bertrand Russell
Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?
Summary
Propaganda is more successful when it stirs up hatred rather than friendly feeling due to the nature of emotions involved. Hatred tends to elicit stronger and more visceral responses, making individuals more susceptible to accepting and spreading propagandistic content. People are often driven by negative emotions like fear, anger, and resentment, which can be easily manipulated through propaganda. Friendly feelings, on the other hand, are generally grounded in goodwill and empathy, making individuals more skeptical about the reliability of the information being conveyed.
