After being appointed Minister of Propaganda in Hitler's first government in 1933, Goebbels revealed a very dangerous idea where he said: "Propaganda (the word propaganda) is a harmful word, and it is often misunderstood, as the ordinary person uses it to mean everything vile, and the reputation of that word continues to worsen. But if you start examining the true reasons behind propaganda, you will reach different conclusions; there is no doubt that the owner of propaganda must be the one with the greatest knowledge of the souls, I cannot convince a single person of the necessity of something happening or doing something unless I have a deep knowledge of that person's inner self, so that all their psychological keys are in my hands." In general, the progress of propaganda and mass manipulation depends on the progress of science and technology. In other words, the history of propaganda is the history of applied science that feeds on both the advancement of the technical system — which provides propaganda owners with mass communication tools — and the history of human and cognitive sciences that provide keys to persuade each individual. Therefore, what we witness today in the digital age is not just a return to propaganda, but the emergence of a new type of propaganda that is simultaneously massive, addresses each individual, and is highly efficient.
