Take a look at this video. It’s over 10 minutes long so feel free to skim. You’ll quickly get the idea — but I strongly suggest you catch the climactic ending performance. It’s enough to make Goebbels drool:
You may look down your nose at Nazi, Chinese, Soviet, North Korean, Iraqi, etc. propaganda, but the above video is a just small sampling of what now passes for normal in The Home of the Brave™. Spoiler alert: Your silence enables it. Your compliance strengthens it. Your denial allows you to miss how similar it is to shit like this in China:
A government sign in Tangshan Village, De'an County, Jiujiang, Jiangxi: "For the sake of the country's prosperity and families' happiness, please implement family planning"
Or this from North Korea:

Or this from the USSR. Oops…my bad. This poster was Born in the USA™:
In totalitarian nations, so-called celebrities have no choice but to publicly tow the company line. In The Land of the Free™, celebrities need no such coercion:
It wasn’t always like this. During the Vietnam War, for example, films stars, rock and rollers, and others used their platform to openly question official policy — not to endorse it. Here is but one example. First, consider this exchange between President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in 1972:
Nixon: The attack in the North that we have in mind, power plants, whatever's left — POL [petroleum], the docks. And, I still think we ought to take the dikes out now. Will that drown people?
Kissinger: About two hundred thousand people.
In July 1972, film star Jane Fonda accepted an invitation from North Vietnam to visit and learn more about the bombing of dams and dikes. Here’s one report of how that went and what Fonda witnessed:
She went to tour the country’s dike system, which was rumored to have been intentionally bombed by American forces — something the U.S. government to this day forcefully denies. During her two-week stay, Fonda concluded that America was unjustly bombing farmland and areas far-flung from military targets. North Vietnamese press reported — and Fonda later confirmed — that she made several radio announcements over the Voice of Vietnam radio to implore U.S. pilots to stop the bombings.
For that, she was derisively labeled “Hanoi Jane” and called a liar by then U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (and future president and avid carpet bomber), George H.W. Bush. In 2021, however, we have pseudo-people like lifestyle guru, Martha Stewart, crowing: “Here’s to the advancement of science and a heartfelt thanks to those working on the vaccines.” The only grief Martha got from the public was a complaint that she may have jumped the line for the precious jab.
Thanks to tax-funded and cringe-worthy propaganda, complicit “celebrities,” and dancing syringes, many Americans now firmly believe that:
The vaccine is safe and effective
Masks and social distancing are necessary
The PCR test provides accurate results
Mandates are saving lives
Ivermectin is a “horse dewormer”
Big Pharma wants to cure us
The U.S. government has our best interests at heart
Can someone please get Herr Goebbels a bib? It’s getting messy in here…
