Also, I watch this YouTuber who makes stuff about mental health and talks about the different kinds of abusers. His videos basically teach you how to manipulate and abuse people: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheraminTrees/videos

Thanks to the war,
we have an idea that propaganda is the
effort of some reprehensible person to
poison our minds with lies. But propaganda
is something far more subtle,
more intensely powerful, and more
vital than the mere spread of misinformation.
The most effective propaganda,
indeed, is that which enlarges
and presents the truth so that an indifferent
public will understand it and
accept it.

The fact remains that, good or evil,
propaganda is always with us. In fact,
its use is growing as more and more its
efficiency in gaining public support is
recognized. One professor in Columbia
University is so convinced of its
efficacy that he assures his students
that if martial propaganda were administered
skilfully to the United
States for only three weeks, the temperature
of the entire country would
be raised to the point at which it would
willingly go to war, flags waving and
orators orating.
Even if this professor is unduly
pessimistic — and t%at remains to be
proved — his opinion reflects a tendency
that is undoubtedly real. Propaganda
does exist on all sides of us, and
it does change our mental pictures of
the world.
If this means anything at all, it
means that anyone with enough money,
or enough influence, can lead the public
where he will, at least for a given time
and a given purpose. Where then
does this state of affairs leave the common
man for whom the world was
made?

Yes, the fact that he's not. Look at that mug. That's not a German phenotype.
