Invented Traditions And Timeworn Futures

Fluidity

About this episode

Ideological time-distortion strategies are highly effective in propaganda. The Victorian age and the twentieth century gave us many new things that were supposedly ancient. These include:
 
- British royal coronation ceremonies.
- kilts and almost the entire Scottish national identity.
- almost all of the history of Buddhism.
- and don't get us started on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This is a fun episode.
