Don’t ever let them trick you into thinking this was a long time ago
Holy fuck this has connected two very long-forgotten thoughts!!! When we were in school, I remember seeing pictures like this, but the black and white versions.
So hearing in year 10 that it was as recent as the sixties really fucked with my head! It’d never occurred to me that this was a form of propaganda specificaIIy to mess with future generations!
It’s nuts that we (for the most part of course) onIy reaIIy associate propaganda with the worId wars!
I need to find out what eIse I’ve misunderstood about our history because of government-sanctioned Iies!!!!!
The idea that “idle hands are the devils tools” is so wild to me, because like it implies that if medieval people had even a second to think they would immediately abandon god and turn to sin, and everyone knew this, and it was so common they had a saying about it. Still used and relevant today
