    Where may I read up more on this ‘softpower propaganda’? First I’ve heard of such a phrase (meaning nothing, I’m a hermit lol)

      Uhh… The entire history of the world honestly…?

      Softpower propaganda has been the single most common type of propaganda in recorded history.

      China and the USA have some of the widest reaching propaganda right now. Its fucking everywhere.

      Functionally the entire concept of Hollywood movies is a form of USA softpower propaganda as an example.

      China basically has the world by its nuts with things like tiktok and tencent. Promoting Chinese products that directly control or funnel news, connections and social interactions.

      The USA does it’s softpower via media and entertainment. China does it via social interaction and news colouring.
