Nazi Sentiments and other Bits of Stuff
From this blog that I stumbled across while looking for news on the Elric movie:

Bob Wallace writes in his article entitles The Fairy Tale of Pure Good and Pure Evil:
The State uses propaganda to manipulate our mistaken notions of good and evil. The essence of propaganda is to say we are under attack because we are good and our opponents evil, to dehumanize and demonize the enemy, and then to claim that those who disagree are evil. Hermann Goering, when he stood in the dock at Nuremburg, said, "The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and then denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
