Propaganda and Ultranationalism
Propaganda refers to information and ideas that are spread to achieve a specific goal. The information and ideas are often misleading and may be dishonest. Ultranationalists often use propaganda to manipulate strong human emotions - especially fear and insecurity - and to persuade people to behave in certain ways.
Propaganda methods:
Propaganda methods:
- Calling opponents names ('terrorists' and 'fanatics'), that are designed to arouse people's anger and fears
- Playing down people's own failures or uses words that hide the true meaning of their actions (calling their own wars 'holy, or 'just', and referring to death camps as 'concentration camps')
- Uses respected symbols to appeal to people's values and beliefs (religious leaders and symbols, and national flags)
- Appeals to people's fears when trying to persuade them to support particular actions (claiming that independence for other people will destroy their own culture)
