Invented Traditions And Timeworn Futures

Ideological time-distortion strategies are highly effective in propaganda. The Victorian age and the twentieth century gave us many new things that were supposedly ancient. These include:

 

- British royal coronation ceremonies.

- kilts and almost the entire Scottish national identity.

- almost all of the history of Buddhism.

- and don't get us started on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This is a fun episode.
