He was very adamant that this is the case, but he’s not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I’m wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The “60 years behind” thing I mean?
From what I understand WWII was the real impetus for modern advertising and propaganda. A lot of money and resources were put in to researching the psychology of propaganda, and then after the war all the people in the propaganda departments went to work in marketing (or the CIA) and now we have pop up ads.
