Welcome to Your Pushback Propaganda Resource Centre
We have designed this site to show you how to:
- Mitigate the effects of propaganda,
- How to take back control of your life
- How to live a flourishing life.
Please note that we are only indicating areas of importance, not telling you how you act. That is up to you to decide after a careful study of the topic and, if you are uncertain, take advice from professionals.
The site has three main sections.
METHODS OF MANIPULATION
The first is the description of the methods used to propagandise you. There are fourty or more of these and not all of these may be of interest to you. For each method we give an introduction, a description, an example and links to further reading/watching.
These links are important because space is limited and whilst we have been educated in these areas we are not experts and if you wish to dig deeper into a method it is in your interests to read or watch more widely on the topic.
TECHNIQUES OF COUNTERACTION
The second are are a selection of techniques you can use to identify, examine and conclude on what is best for you. Once again we give you links to additional resources you should review and base your actions on.
A FLOURISHING LIFE
Thirdly we offer some insights to how the ancient Greek philosophers determined how to live the ‘good and flourishing’ life. Today these techniques have a growing and satisfied following to which we give you some links. There are other approaches and a quick search of the Internet will lead you to them. Once again you should base any actions on them.
FURTHER SUPPORT
We will be offering a selection of support tools to help you including; a chat room to discuss issues with others going through the same process, a Frequently Asked Questions page, a fact checking service for those questions raised in the Chat room and not covered in the FAQ, a substack blog for extended analyses of items of propaganda and a Newsletter where our contributors will alert you to any changes or additions to the web site.
First, discover what they do
Learn how to recognize propaganda. Our resources focus on the key techniques for propagandising a population so that all it believes is true, is in fact false.
second, discover how to combat it
Second, learn how to identify and deal with propaganda. Connect with like-minded individuals who are also navigating the complexities of modern communication. Share experiences and strategies as we learn together in a supportive environment.
Third, Relax and Live a flourishing life
Third, Ancient Greece had many of the problems we face to-day. Philosophers could be ‘canceled’ for what they taught and even executed. As a result they developed ways of living with the uncertainties. Their goal was to live a flourishing life despite the problems. The third part of our website introduces you to their wisdom.
