The power of speech.


For a topic on this blog, I’d like to make a comment on how easily people were influenced by someone basically yelling at them with a microphone. If everyone was easily influenced like this, then I would believe everything, every metal artist said during their shows. I guess it comes down to how well someone can influence anyone; or in this case a whole country to go to war with two other countries. This is where propaganda kicks in: the dictator uses words like “For your country” or “Your country’s pride.” Easily draws in very patriotic citizens, but how could this work on every single person in Italy? That’s my question.
