About r/PropagandaPosters

Propaganda :/prɒpəˈgandə/
information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause, organization, or point of view

A subreddit for propaganda collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by propaganda as an insight into history, sociology, perspective, and manipulation.

Despite the name of the subreddit, a variety of 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 or not you agree with the message of a post. Vote on whether it's interesting or insightful.

2) Don't post with the intent to spread propaganda you agree with or the intent to degrade propaganda you disagree with.

3) Keep the titles neutral and informative.

4) Include as much information about your submission as you can (context, date, translation, creator, target, etc.) You can include it in the comments if the title is too cluttered.

5) Reddiquette

This is really interesting! I had no idea of the history or existence of this vote and this ballot. Fantastic post as always, you should crosspost it to /r/history or /r/historyporn. I'm sure people will be fascinated as I am.

Yeah, I had seen variations of this, but always thought they were a joke. I didn't realize such a blatant tactic had actually been used before.

I always wondered why the results of this plebiscite were SO one-sided. I researched this a bit for an undergrad thesis, but I never actually found the original document. I never even thought to look, actually.

So thanks for teaching me something today.

My logical side knows I should mark nein, but some weird compulsion makes me want to mark ja. Seriously, this ballot perverts my inner OCDness to the max.

you double posted (and somehow didn't get downvoted, I am surprised)
