Experiences promoting corporate propaganda in your job?


Hi HN, we always hear about discreet government propaganda divisions, but I want to know about the corporate ones, which are probably as if not more effective and widespread as they are a big part of our lives, especially given the world we are fast heading into. Thanks.

Propaganda means different things. Usually it comes leadership direction. ie Where I live every large corporation must start each meeting with thanks and acknowledgments to the native tribes that lived on this land at some point. If the meeting organizer does not do that they might get in trouble with HR.

Kinda hilarious when a 60 year old Russian lady tells these thanks to a room full of recent Indian and Chinese immigrants who have no conception of why any of this matters before proceeding with a 10 minute engineering meeting about pump capacity.
