Yes, if you read the "1984" novel you must know how propaganda can affect people's minds and make them hate whoever would be convenient to the authorities.

You said in the thread on drugs you would go with capital punishment for drug dealers.

Yes you are right for a change. That must have confused those who know that I am against the death penalty.
My intention was to say that it would solve the drug problem to scare people off with 0 tolerance and the worst possible punishment, like Singapore has done. Or the other extreme end of the scale, harm reduction.
But that does not mean I think that killing drug smugglers is the morally right thing to do.
I should have clarified that just because something is efficient, it is not necessarily morally right.
