Propaganda 2.1 Model, Manufacture of Dissent and Monetisation of Outrage
Abstract This article introduces the Propaganda 2.1 model as a theoretical extension of the author’s earlier Propaganda 2.0 framework, arguing that contemporary online media ecosystems are no longer governed primarily by political, ideological or cultural objectives but by a dominant economic policy of platform capitalism. In this regime, revenue optimisation trumps belief formation, identity construction and persuasive coherence, transforming propaganda from a project of ideological influence into an infrastructure for affect extraction. The model identifies three core mechanisms structuring this new phase. First, rage-baiting or the monetisation of outrage becomes the central commodity form of public discourse, replacing persuasion with the algorithmic optimisation of irritation, humiliation and moral injury. Second, the proliferation of AI ‘slop’ produces a regime of semantic banalisation in which meaning is not distorted but dissolved through excess, flooding the public sphere with syntactically fluent yet cognitively weightless content that exhausts attention rather than informing it. Third, parasociality functions as simulated intimacy, substituting civic belonging and social reciprocity with managed emotional attachment to influencers, automated agents and personalised feeds. Together these mechanisms describe a propaganda system that no longer requires belief, truth or ideological consistency. Outrage replaces conviction, automation replaces meaning, and artificial intimacy replaces sociality, marking the transition from the manufacture of dissent to the liquidation of public opinion itself. Does a media system that no longer seeks to persuade but to provoke still qualify as propaganda, or has it become a different technology of power altogether? If outrage is now more profitable than truth, what remains of public opinion as a democratic force? Can meaning survive in a communicative environment flooded by automated, semantically empty content? And when artificial intimacy replaces social relations, is the public sphere still a space for politics, or only a marketplace for emotions?

The Colors of Learning
The sun was warm that morning, and the school walls glowed with bright colors, reflecting the laughter and chatter of children and parents on the narrow village paths. But in the midst of all this noise, Maryam’s heart carried a calm determination, a spark for knowledge that seemed to shine brighter than the sun. She was young, but her spirit was fearless. Every morning, she walked to school with a single thought in mind: one day, she would bring the light of education not just to herself, but to every child in her village. Maryam’s journey to school was long. The paths were lined with flowers and the occasional fluttering bird, yet she paid little attention to them; her focus was unwavering. As she entered the school gates, her face lit up with a smile. Mr. Anwar, her class teacher, greeted each student warmly, patiently guiding them through lessons, always encouraging curiosity. Maryam was known among her peers for her sharp mind and her ability to understand solutions where others struggled. But Maryam’s dream extended far beyond her own learning. She wished to create opportunities for other children in her village, to fill their lives with the colors of knowledge. The village, however, was not an easy place for education. The school library was sparse, there were no computers, and modern teaching resources were practically nonexistent. Parents were often busy with daily work and could not fully grasp how education could brighten their children’s future. Undeterred, Maryam began to devise a plan. She decided to start a small reading club at her school. Every morning, she gathered her classmates in the little library and shared stories from the few books available, encouraging discussions and curiosity. It was not an easy task. Books were limited, electricity was unreliable, and many children had chores that kept them busy at home. But Maryam’s determination never wavered. She patiently organized reading sessions, helped students with lessons, and inspired them to dream beyond their immediate surroundings. One day, Maryam took her plan a step further. She requested a meeting with the local school board. She explained the challenges her school faced and asked for support. “If we provide children with the resources they need,” she told them, “their hearts and minds will light up with learning, and their futures will shine brighter than ever.” The board members were impressed by Maryam’s courage and clarity. They agreed to provide books, computers, and other resources to help her vision take shape. The day the library reopened was unforgettable. Children explored colorful books, their eyes wide with excitement. The computers brought a new wave of learning, allowing them to explore technology for the first time. Maryam’s heart swelled with pride and hope. She realized that with courage, dedication, and passion, even the greatest challenges could be overcome. Her reading club soon became a hub of creativity. Maryam helped her classmates with homework, extra lessons, and new skills. She organized storytelling sessions, science projects, and activities that motivated even the shyest students. Slowly, parents began to notice the transformation. They saw their children excited to learn, eager to attend school, and willing to embrace new knowledge. As weeks turned into months, the small library became a beacon of hope. Maryam’s efforts inspired not only her peers but also the entire community. Villagers, once indifferent to education, started valuing it, realizing it was the key to a brighter future. The children learned that education was not just a subject in textbooks but a tool that could empower them, open doors to new opportunities, and allow them to dream bigger than the village boundaries. Maryam herself grew through this journey. She learned leadership, empathy, and the true meaning of perseverance. She discovered that one person’s determination could spark change in an entire community. The joy of seeing other children learn, explore, and succeed became her greatest reward. By the end of the year, the school had transformed. The library was thriving, classes were full of energy, and Maryam’s vision was no longer just a dream—it was a living reality. Her village had begun to embrace education as the path to progress, and Maryam had become a symbol of hope for every child who dared to dream. In the end, Maryam realized that the colors of learning were not just in books or computers—they were in the hearts of those who chose to embrace knowledge, curiosity, and the courage to dream. And she knew that as long as there were children willing to learn, the light of education would never fade from her village.
