“The point of public relations slogans like ʻSupport our troopsʼ is that they donʼt mean anything... Thatʼs the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobodyʼs going to be against, and everybodyʼs going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesnʼt mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? Thatʼs the one youʼre not allowed to talk about.”
