absolutely true. while american hard power is extremely formidable, and visible, its soft power (aka propaganda machine) is even greater.
while the US military is often forced on the defensive and US companies do lose profits, the US propaganda machine is never on the defensive. it is on the attack against all rivals and enemies of the united states, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. it can twist fact into fiction and fiction into fact. aimed inward, it makes sure that americans will always obey their government at critical times and no serious threats arise.
and most of all, it makes it seem so natural.
