49. Antipropaganda tools

The following was originally posted on the Activism>Propaganda Debunking forum, but I think it belongs here as well.

You can't fight propaganda unless you recognize it at the moment it occurs.

The website "Principles of Propaganda" has a lot of antipropaganda tools. For example:

Pocket-sized lists of principles of propaganda and counterpropaganda, criteria of psychopathy (the best propagandists), concise recommendations for dealing with misinformation. Plus a two-page Presidential Psychological Assessment, and the 40 most common logical fallacies: Link

Propaganda quotes: Link

Death by Propaganda: The history of the Right's propaganda war against Hillary Clinton: Link

Blog series on propaganda principles: Link

Blog series on counterpropaganda principles: Link

Presidential Psychological Assessment - Know the details of the psychological forces behind Trump's behavior and you'll know why he behaves as he does and how he's likely to behave in the future: Link

The Forty most common logical fallacies: Link

Propaganda techniques: Link
