Facing The Music: Religion, Nationalism And Sports Have Enchanted The Working Class; Socialism Hasn’t
Religion, nationalism and sports as propaganda for the ruling class In the closing section of my course Brainwashing Propaganda and Rhetoric: Dark Psychology in the 20th Century, I ask my students to compare organized religion, nationalism and sports, not only to determine the kind of propaganda they are (black, gray or white), but also the devices and artifacts that are used.

[RussEurope-en-Exil] Les Gilets Jaunes et la colère des masses populaires, par Jacques Sapir
La journée du 17 novembre des Gilets Jaunes s’est donc soldée par un succès massif, avec plus de 2000 points de blocage alors que 1500 avaient été annoncés. Les chiffres de participation annoncés par le Ministère de l’intérieur semblent largement sous-estimés. Mais, ce succès a hélas été endeuillé par le décès d’une manifestante et par de nombreux blessés, ce qui est dû dans la plupart des cas à des véhicules ayant tenté de forcer les barrages. Ce succès interpelle les mouvements politiques et les syndicats.
