The descriptions of these events have elements of truth, and the &#8220;big lie&#8221; generalizations merge and eventually supplant the public&#8217;s accurate perception of the underlying events. After World War I the German <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Stab in the back\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stab_in_the_back\">stab in the back<\/a> explanation of the cause of their defeat became a justification for Nazi re-militarization and revanchism.<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Stereotyping\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stereotyping\">Stereotyping<\/a>, name calling or labelingThis technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Straw man\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Straw_man\">Straw man<\/a><br \/>\nA straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent&#8217;s position. To &#8220;attack a straw man&#8221; is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the &#8220;straw man&#8221;), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sex_in_advertising\">Beautiful people<\/a><br \/>\nThe type of propaganda that deals with <a title=\"Celebrity\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celebrity\">famous people<\/a> or depicts attractive, happy people.

By making people afraid of the alternative, they naturally tend to support your position. It\u2019s actually a logical fallacy. The argument propagandists are making is this: \u201cEither A or B is true. B is scary. Therefore, A is true.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Information overload\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Information_overload\">Information overload<\/a>&#8221;<br \/>\nInformation overload can have the same effect as secrecy and certainly in the short term and for democracies today it might be considered more effective.&#8221;<sup id=\"cite_ref-21\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Propaganda_techniques#cite_note-21\"><span class=\"cite-bracket\">[<\/span>21<span class=\"cite-bracket\">]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> &#8220;When information overload occurs, it is likely that a reduction in decision quality will occur.&#8221;<sup id=\"cite_ref-22\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Propaganda_techniques#cite_note-22\"><span class=\"cite-bracket\">[<\/span>22<span class=\"cite-bracket\">]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>&#8220;The glut of information generated by modern technology [&#8230;] threatens to make its receivers passive.
