There have always been propagandists and their success has been difficult to appraise since they are generally supported by violence and intimidation campaigns that skew any attempt at measurement.
I think the lesson here is that ANY world government is anathema to individual freedom and societal justice.

I wouldn't go that far, I think it would be indeed possible to built a just and fair world government. Of course I don't think it will happen till maybe after World War 3. But it is possible if unlikely.
I think once the world is a RadioActive Wasteland, the few pockets with survivors will be forever reminded of past mistakes.
They would form a new religion of sorts, of not repeating past mistakes.
Ah reality vs truth. The two are very different for sure. Probably deserving of a good thread.

You cannot know, with 100% certainty, what someone's actions, or thoughts, will be, but you can increase your odds, and even sway their actions in your favor, by seeding thoughts to them.
We react to the environment around us, and if you control the environment, you partially control us.
Reality is a giant symbiotic system of concept reproduction, and as such, a single remark has the potential to greatly affect everything else within the system.
