We live in an age of disinformation, misinformation, and outright lies. The modern world blasts us with information, data, talking points, spin, advertising, and attempts to persuade. But what are we to believe and whom should we trust?

From the 515 B.C.E. Behistun inscription to the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests, Disinformation and You: Identify Propaganda and Manipulation examines the history of propaganda and disinformation in war, politics, polling, media, entertainment, cults, advertising, science, medicine, and even in our personal interactions. It also provides helpful suggestions and tips for identifying disinformation and fighting back against manipulation and censorship. The tools and methods of propaganda are dissected, such as Misdirection, Marginalization, False Flag Attacks, Divide and Conquer, Flipping Reality on Its Head, Coercive Persuasion, Repetition, Memes, Spin, Feedback Loops, Framing, and so many more.
