Propaganda is the art of lining up agreeable words to gently silence doubt. It wraps human reason in a sweet melody and ultimately marches it to the same tune. Inconvenient facts are often shoved backstage while only flowery speeches reach the audience. More powerful than a loudspeaker is the uncritical applause of the masses.

Rhetoric is the masquerade ball where the truth dons a flawless mask to deceive its audience. Its splendid figures of speech lift reason into the air, leaving grounded judgement behind. Lurking in boardroom slides, ads, and political speeches, it sprinkles the magical dust of unquestioning acceptance. Celebrated as effective communication, it often harbors deliberate ambiguity and ornate concealment. This art of eloquence doubles as a shield for incompetence, offering speakers the safe haven of 'just words, no responsibility.'
