A subreddit for propaganda collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by propaganda as an insight into history, sociology, perspective, and manipulation.
Posters, paintings, leaflets, cartoons, videos, music, broadcasts, news articles, or any medium is welcome - be it recent or historical, subtle or blatant, artistic or amateur, horrific or hilarious.
Guidelines
1) Don't vote on whether you agree with the message of a post.
2) Don't post with the intent to spread propaganda you agree with or the intent to degrade propaganda you disagree with.
3) Civil conversation is okay; soapboxing, bigotry, partisan bickering, and personal attacks are not.
4) Titles must have a date and must be neutral. If in doubt, you can simply use the caption of the poster (eg. "I want you!", US, 1917).
5) No current events. To help us to be objective, posts cannot be from within the last two years. Please post contemporary work on /r/ModernPropaganda.
6) No reposts. You can only repost the same image after a year.
7) No memes or clickbait. Image macros are only allowed if released by an official agency and the source is provided.
8) Direct links to X (formerly Twitter) are not allowed in this sub.
For a complete rundown and explanation of the rules, refer to the wiki.

Why was Thomas Nast so damn anti-Irish?
I mean, the guy was really progressive. Here he is supporting the Indians, and Chinese people, and supporting a diverse American society during Thanksgiving. He was anti-Slavery. (Here too, and here, and here, though there were exceptions.) Very wholesome! Then he turns around with super anti-Irish comics like this or this or this or this or this. Why? What was his deal?

Vietnam, 1966, Leaflet 151-66: “The tunnel where you try to hide is never safe from the bombs of the B-52. The B-52 can search out its enemy anywhere” .
#❝
This crude early 1966 leaflet was printed by the 244th PSYOP Company as part of the I Corps Tactical Zone Joint PSYWAR Civil Affairs Center. The front depicts two Viet Cong squatting in a cave. Above, a B-52 bomber drops a bomb that is heading directly toward that cave. It is interesting to note that about four decades later that same general theme will show Taliban hiding in a cave in Afghanistan about to be bombed. I good idea is never obsolete. The back of the leaflet depicts Viet Cong flying through the air from the B-52 bombings. The text on front and back is: “The tunnel where you try to hide is never safe from the bombs of the B-52. The B-52 can search out its enemy anywhere” .
