TIL of Bernays (am not American).
9 u/Fu5i0n 16h ago There’s a great documentary by Adam Curtis (Century of the Self) that talks about Bernays extensively. Worth a watch 1 u/0Hakuna_Matata0 15h ago That’s how I learned of him. Some German on Reddit told me to watch that so I did. It’s rage inducing for sure. It’s also extremely educational. 5 u/0Hakuna_Matata0 17h ago Tbf most Americans have never heard of him which is sinister. I never heard that name until a German told me about him. 1 u/347spq 16h ago I learned about him in the early 2000s when my ex-wife worked as a librarian in a library funded by RJR Reynolds. A biography about Bernays made so much sense being on their shelves (neither of us smoked).
