The Role of Propaganda in Creating Fear

i've tended in the past to think about propaganda more along the lines of tribalism. And one thing i got out of the book really was the emphasis on the role of propaganda in creating fearan see. Let me read another quotation from the booka part of which i'm going to take some issue with. Instead of viewing citizen is the driving force behind the actions of the state, we use propaganda. The use of propaganda is grounded in the idea that citizens stand in opposition to the goals of political rulers.
