Even at highest level of hysteria no propaganda machine will use anything that could discredit few things:
- Authorities of enemy as a system. Propaganda could tell that it is a bad dictator/president/leader/whatever, but never will say anything that could seed a distrust of enemy population to the institute of authority itself.
- MSM of enemy. Propaganda could tell that they lie, cheat, spread disinformation, whatever, but never will say something that could ruin the whole concept of MSM in enemy country
- Banking system of enemy. Again, propaganda will never discredit banking system in the eyes of enemy population
- Laws of enemy. Propaganda will never call enemy population to ignore their laws.
- Voting system. Propaganda could tell that there was voting fraud, but will never try to convince enemy population that voting is a complete hoax from the beginning.
Interesting, that most powerful things propaganda could use against enemy never really used.
They want to capture the instructions not destroy them. They take generations to build
Correct. There are separate groups of elites competing for power that want to skim off the top to redistribute the wealth to their connected friends and supporters. Sometimes, it can be shown that a mutual enemy will cause them to come together (Trump for instance) but they want to be parasites and not kill the host.
