so a lot of our advertising and mechanisms for crowd control come directly from studying nazi propaganda. subliminal seduction, disorienting layouts, insane beurocracy (i suck at spelling and autocorrect isn't helping). i really mean it when i say they use nazi techniques to get us to buy soup. specifically campbell's. and to give us the illusion of choice, there's also progresso.

but the keys to nazi control were:

• placing seductive images alongside a viewpoint they wanted to hold (think the pepsi commercials where it's just an attractive woman walking up to a vending machine, buying a pepsi, and then drinking it)
• disorientation keeping the populace from ever knowing what was going on (think rearranging supermarkets)
• state sanctioned violence (think everything american police have ever been)
