![[CW Nudity/Sex Capitalist Propaganda] Herbert Smagon, 1989](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d4cd394b-aa0b-43e8-b018-532d29fd967e.webp){kind=link}
Another propaganda piece is an artwork created by Herbert Smagon in 1989 titled “The Fall of the Berlin Wall” and it portrays the drastic difference between West and East Germany. Smagon’s controversial work solidifies the piece as propaganda; His service in World War Two had a huge influence on his art, which revolved around Nazi soldiers and graphic war scenes. The piece shows the oppression those in the communist country endured and how the destruction of the wall will bring them back into the light of freedom.
Imagine not only thinking but unironically painting this piece and thinking it portrayed Western Germany as a good place.
What, Aviations are great!
Gin specifically has a long and torrid history as the Drink That Brings Men Low, with propaganda pieces about the dangers of gin specifically, not alcohol generally. The UK Gin Craze was a full blown moral panic
I thought it was totally classy! Heard the places where you can drink it were called palaces!
they are… gin by itself just tastes like plant water though
Gin should never be consumed straight. I love gin but that is not the way.
thats the crème de violette talking
