Self propaganda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Self propaganda is a form of propaganda and indoctrination performed by an individual or a group on oneself.

Essentially, it is the act of telling yourself (or a group telling themselves) something that they consider to be true, or to convince themselves, with the unfortunate repercussion of their having no doubts. Because of what they do to themselves, they will go over every aspect of their side of the "argument" to prove to themselves that they are right, and will refuse to look at any alternatives. Self propaganda is a form of self-deception and indoctrination. It functions at individual and social levels: political, economic, and religious. It hides behind partial truths and ignores questions of critical thought."
