Cultural imprinting is the mechanism whereby an ad, rather than trying to change our minds individually, instead changes the landscape of cultural meanings — which in turn changes how we are perceived by others when we use a product. Whether you drink Corona or Heineken or Budweiser “says” something about you. But you aren’t in control of that message; it just sits there, out in the world, having been imprinted on the broader culture by an ad campaign.

This is an important read as we start producing our agitprop. There’s a lot to think about as we try producing messages that will actually break through to the masses.

    Perhaps? I’m sharing things that are what I’m thinking about when making my plan for agitprop. I have another post coming explaining why IMO we need agitprop as a “gap” between burgerland’s understanding of Marxism and the current left who thinks everyone reads 500 pages of theory on a weekly basis.
