🎙 X-Plained – Episode 1: The Power and Problem of Propaganda | Relufe X-Plained
Introduction: Understanding Propaganda in Modern Society
Propaganda in modern society is no longer restricted to wartime posters or government broadcasts. It’s in our social feeds, memes, headlines, and even influencers’ captions. With the launch of Relufe X-Plained, Episode 1 sets the tone by addressing how propaganda thrives today—unfiltered, viral, and often unchecked.
What Is Propaganda in the 21st Century?
At its core, propaganda is a tool used to manipulate public perception and behavior. In the digital age, it’s often subtle—delivered through algorithms, echo chambers, and viral trends. The show cleverly dissects controversial tweets to expose this dynamic in real-time, making the message accessible to Gen Z and Millennials.
How Social Media Fuels Modern Propaganda
Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are breeding grounds for modern propaganda. Tweets that go viral often trigger emotional reactions, spread misinformation, or push hidden agendas. In Relufe X-Plained, Episode 1 breaks down one such viral tweet, analyzing the rhetoric, bias, and psychological triggers used.
“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.”
— Mark Twain
This quote illustrates why dissecting propaganda is essential now more than ever.
Transition Words in Use
To better understand the concept, let’s explore three key points:
Firstly, propaganda is effective because it appeals to emotion.
Secondly, repetition creates belief—even if the statement is false.
Finally, people often share without verifying, which amplifies misinformation.
Real-Life Examples from Nigeria and Beyond
In recent Nigerian elections, propaganda flooded social timelines—both from verified accounts and troll farms. Globally, misinformation around vaccines and climate change shows how persuasive and dangerous propaganda can be.
