Media messaging: Then and Now


Things have changed in the last hundred years, and so has the media messaging. This raises some questions:
Who comes up with this new messaging? Who is the target? What is it aimed to accomplish? And can a nation survive this mindset if it prevails? Could any nation survive it?
Because while the messaging has changed, the world hasn't. It still is a dangerous place, and that is not going to change any time soon.



Let's sum up the differences between the old and the new media messaging:
1917: Destroy this mad brute! Enlist!
2017: if you believe your own eyes, you’re an islamophobe!
1917: Uphold your honor! Join Army - Navy - Marines!
2017: Check your privilege! Borders are racist! No ban - no wall!
1917: Wake up, America! Civilization calls every man woman and child!
2017: Shut up, America! You racist bitch!

The People's Revolutionary Burka is a package deal, it has all 3 of those things plus a goat for the husband to practice on.








Red Square
I thought this picture taken recently in New York subway somehow belonged on our Then & Now thread.Reminds me of this gem:






And let us not forget a bumpersticker for your mother...




Somebody is going to get a beet-ing for screwing with someone's bumper sticker.
