Bread Propaganda

Overtly it wants you to eat less bread and cook more.

Covertly it wants women to be in the kitchen and stay out of corporate America.

The ad seems to support women and them aiding the war effort but in reality it is subjugating them into the home and the kitchen.

"Clampdown" the Clash

The song is about big business and fighting the man. Support oft is cmes from "the voices in your head are calling" which represents everyone in the corporate world telling you the same thing that their way is the way it should be. Also where it talks about them stealing the best years of your life and "growing up and calming down" this you settling into their habits an ways.

The way he sings and the steady monotone beat support the lyrics.

The song is about conformity and coming to be one of the anonymous corporate workers.

Propaganda

I like 282, 285, 297, and 305.
 The quote is "what was once thought can never be unthought." Friedrich Durrenmatt
I believe he means that people are very succeptable and that propoganda is really just the exploitation of it. that it really isn't that bad. An exasmple of this is with propoganda of germany during World War II the money was worth so little that it was cheaper to burn it than to buy firewood to burn, yet the people were still commited to their country due to propaganda. Much like I usually will stay in my ideas against all evidence just because something doesn't make sense doesn't mean that people won't believe it.
