I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 229 Follow me, from one victory to another

Americans are a bit confused lately.

Their thoughts were still lingering on the psychological trauma of the "explosive excrement feast" in Milwaukee, when they suddenly realized that the direction of public opinion had undergone a bizarre 180-degree shift.

They don't understand why a tragic incident involving an excrement explosion would trigger a reform of pharmaceutical regulations.
They don't understand that in the current public discourse, there are progressives on one side and neo-progressivists on the other.

Good heavens, so in this land, there is only "progress" and "further progress," and no "backwardness" anymore?

The key point is that both sides seem to make sense. One side emphasizes the fairness and necessity of government regulation, while the other side advocates market efficiency and breaking with convention. This has plunged the public, who are used to seeing things in black and white, into a quagmire of cognitive confusion, making them feel like their brain cells are about to get tangled up.

On the contrary, Goebbels, who was observing from the sidelines, was completely convinced.

He originally thought that the core mission of his trip to America was to learn their propaganda skills of turning the rotten into the magical—how to whitewash the black and package the ugly as beautiful.

However, the “Prison BA” alliance’s attempt to seize federal regulatory power through a “feces explosion” tragedy has refreshed his understanding of the limits of what is possible.

He couldn't help but send a telegram to Berlin that very night, excitedly requesting that more "enlightened" elites be sent from the country to study here, saying, "The waters here are very deep, and the knowledge here is beyond imagination!"

Manipulating public opinion is nothing compared to using an accident, incident, or even a scandal to seize national power and influence – that's the real dragon-slaying technique!

Without further hesitation, Goebbels, on behalf of the organization behind him, formally submitted an application to the "Prison BA" alliance for "academic exchange".

Meanwhile, the German pharmaceutical business representatives who came on the same ship also submitted letters of intent to join the ranks of sponsors of the "Prison BA" alliance, preparing to use Germany's rigorous chemical industry to contribute to this "crazy" show.

When Logan learned that the mustachioed man from Berlin was so fascinated by the "prison culture superiority theory" and firmly believed that "Prison BA" was America's "national salvation movement," that he had specifically sent Goebbels and others to learn the "way to national salvation," he was utterly speechless!
Is the "Prison BA" movement a movement for the survival of Americans?
It turns out I wasn't just doing this for fun, but was playing a very well-thought-out game that concerns the fate of the nation!
It's said that the mustachioed guy is a good reader, and Logan believes it because his reading comprehension skills would probably get him a perfect score on the college entrance exam.

In contrast, the American people, who are often considered academically weak, are far less "comprehension-oriented".

They needed Logan to break down the logic, dissect it thoroughly, and even practically feed it to them before they could understand what it meant to "choose to stand on the right side of history."

While progressives labeled "conservatives" were still vying for the right to define "progress," Logan had already instructed the "Prison BA" alliance to launch a propaganda campaign showcasing their achievements:
"Progress" should be tangible and visible results, not just empty words.

We, the "Prison BAs," always keep our word.

Look! The second installment of the "Prison BA" movie series, "Iron and Tenderness," continues to create a viewing frenzy in Europe, with film copies selling out! The European sports world has begun to follow our lead and actively form energetic cheerleading teams.

This is a victory for the soft power of American culture! This is a triumph!
Look! Even an ancient country like Germany, renowned for its philosophical depth, has sent a formal delegation of elites to travel across the ocean to learn from our advanced "Prison BA" experience and actively explore the possibility of introducing this successful model to Europe!
This is the strongest endorsement of the superiority of our system! This is a double victory!

Look! German pharmaceutical companies have brought their most advanced drug technology, eager to conduct the most rigorous safety and efficacy evaluations in our "Prison BA" competition, and are willing to serve to improve the health of the American people! This is the greatest affirmation of our platform's credibility! This is a triple win!

Look! Even that controversial "exploding excrement feast" film production was constantly urged by European distributors, who strongly demanded that it be completed and imported as soon as possible!

This shows that old Europe is utterly powerless against the unique charm of our American "Prison BA"! This is a quadruple victory!

The Sun initially thought the match was too graphic and too short to be made into a movie. However, after European media outlets reported on the absurdity of the match in detail, it spawned a group of viewers with very unique tastes in various countries, especially in Germany, where they strongly demanded a "Milwaukee Special" and insisted that it need no censorship.

The Sun and the "Prison BA" league were both greatly shocked!

I've never heard of such an outrageous request as voluntarily "eating shit" in my life.

But what could they do? Of course, they had to do everything they could to satisfy the "special" tastes of European audiences!

After the results-oriented publicity campaign swept through, the American people were also stunned!

They may not understand regulatory power or the boundaries between public and private, but they understand the value of "voluntarily eating shit"!
They can also see firsthand how incredibly popular our products are in Europe! Even the Germans are learning from us! We're amazing!
From this perspective, although The Sun and "Prison BA" took unconventional approaches, they were serious about "exporting American life and culture," and they actually succeeded!

Infected by this sense of pride and the collective emotion of successful cultural export, the public's mentality began to shift unconsciously.

They began to think that perhaps handing over drug regulation to the "Prison BA" alliance, which could always "turn the rotten into the magical" and even sell "shit" for a price, was not a bad idea.

After all, who wouldn't want a future with worry-free healthcare?
Forget about progress; it's better to follow those who always win and move from one victory to another.

Goebbels, who immediately became a propaganda tool: ...

However, I still need to explain that Germans are not that perverted and crave to "eat shit"!
The main problem is that we Germans don't have the same rich and colorful lives as Americans!
People were just curious and wanted to see something new, right? It's definitely not anything weird or extreme!

Absolutely not (firmly)!
But in short, he failed miserably again!

It turns out that the ultimate secret of public opinion propaganda is not some profound deception technique or logical persuasion, but the most basic "winning strategy"!
Keep winning, win in every way, win in every aspect! When the light of victory dazzles people, they will naturally follow you on the road to continued victory.

Goebbels felt that he had truly learned something from his absurd and shocking trip to America!
