What with all the Fake News flying around, this is a handy word to remember - from InfoGalactic:
Gleichschaltung
In Nazi terminology, Gleichschaltung was the process by which Nazi Germany successively established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of society.
Among the goals of this policy were to bring about adherence to a specific doctrine and way of thinking and to control as many aspects of life as possible.
A bit more - from Joe:
Goebbels said: "The best propaganda is that which, as it were, works invisibly, penetrates the whole of life without the public having any knowledge of the propagandistic initiative", further claiming on another occasion that "Good propaganda does not need to lie, indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that the people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand."
Remind you of anyone? Antifa? Black Lives Matter? Anarchist Black Cross? New Black Panthers? George Soros?
