[FRIAM] projection propaganda

[glen]

I'm used to interpersonal projection. E.g. Joe Rogan's supplements vs. his accusations re the mRNA vaccines:

But I'm not habituated to the analogy of projection ("lady doth protest too much") to national/party scale propaganda:

Projection as an Interpersonal Influence Tactic: The Effects of the Pot Calling the Kettle Black
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01461672012711010

I expect man-babies like Trump to accuse their targets of their own misdeeds (https://theconversation.com/why-trump-accuses-people-of-wrongdoing-he-himself-committed-an-explanation-of-projection-237912). And to the extent that the right in the US (including SCOTUS) believe in and achieve the unitary executive, the analogy between interpersonal projection and national or group projection will be more accurate. This is one reason why "projection propaganda" worked well for Russia and China but not so much for the US, because the difference in scope between an individual and a regime was smaller there than here in the US.

So given that one of my whipping posts is that we bear the burden of showing how group behavior composes from individual behavior before we assert that the map is in any way coherent, I can't use "projection propaganda" without coming up with that composition. If any of you historians or journalists have any clue sticks to hit me with, I'd very much appreciate it.
