→Identifying propaganda
# Outright lies. Dr. [[Josef Goebbels]], Minister of Propaganda for [[Adolf Hitler]], famously observed that if one tells a lie loudly enough and often enough, people will believe it rather than believe that anyone could lie so outrageously.

#Personal attacks. This method of propaganda often involves spreading malicious rumors and misinformation about other people. The goal of such attacks is to undermine the character of the person in order to gain the upper hand. Name-calling and intimidation are often used in concurrence with this.

Sam Garrens<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEUstbsTJYYGq_uhWj3RASA/videos</ref> uses 8 identifiers to analyze statements which can stand alone or be used in combination with each other. Garrens claims once these methods are mastered, propaganda is forever easy to spot:
*Unrelated items
*Opinion leader or expert
*Missing context
*Obfuscation and simulation
*Gaslighting or assumed conclusions
*Shaming language and insults, using words that end in 'ist' and 'ite' augmented by 'gush' and outrage
*Lies and [[demonization]]
*Propagganda payload, the moral of the story
