On my point of wiew, propaganda has less strenght now than in the past.

Of course, as everibody knows, today's media have plenty of tools, techniques, elaborated strategies, special effects and so on.
All said things give a strong impact to the desired message, but tech also provides us a good defensive weapon: internet.

Quite everybody, from cuban to iranian dissident, has at least a chance to navigate the web to discover a different point of wiew.

During the most part of XX century, the average citizen had little or none possibility to make a similar thing: so, for rulers, it was really easy to support any silly message, simply because people was totally defenceless.
