Lets all post the coolest, funniest, most horrifying, or most interesting historical propaganda we've seen.
First off, a request. Please don't debate the politics behind the propaganda. Just enjoy the propaganda itself. I'd rather not have this turn into a flame war. Second, unless it's a really good piece, please don't post anything from after the Cold War. This ties into the first request. I don't want this turning into a political shooting match, so I'd like to keep things limited to stuff less likely to provoke arguments. Therefore, I am asking you guys to severely limit how much modern stuff you post, as that's what is most likely to start fights. If you are unsure whether it will provoke people, think twice about posting it.
Propaganda for fictional nations, alternate history, satiric propaganda, and the like may be posted here.
If you live in a country where it is illegal to view swastikas, communist symbols, or stuff like that (Such as Germany), please be careful with the links in this thread. I don't want anyone getting in legal trouble over this.
I'll begin.
Der Fuehrer's Face - a WW2 American propaganda cartoon (Possibly NSFW for certain 1940s racial attitudes)
A Pravda survey reveals that an organization called the Boy Scouts, is turning American youngsters into warmongering imperialists. Every boy who is forced to join the Boy Scouts is trained to be a master of all forms of espionage, violence, and germ warfare. He quickly becomes a very dangerous tool of the ruthless US government.
At the age of eight or nine, innocent American boys are forcibly herded into an organization known as the Cub Scouts which prepare them for future foul deeds. The Cub Scout directors force the youth to worship the wolf, one of the most vicious and predatory animals. After three years of servitude in the Cub Scouts, the boys, now hooligan adolescents, are forced to join the older, more corrupt Boy Scouts.
The most deceitful ritual is the shameful 'court of honor' where the young warmongers are decorated with so-called merit badges. It is here that they receive awards for their work in such insidious fields as swimming (under water demolition and sabotage), chemistry (germ and poison warfare), pathfinding (counterespionage), pioneering (exploitation of underdeveloped nations).
In their efforts to completely control American youth, the Scout czars have also set up a sister organization called the Girl Scouts. This ill conceived group turns young girls into unpaid, door-to-door cookie vendors. the proceeds of the sale, of course, go directly to the Wall Street masterminds of the entire plot".
