I don't think I ever said that. I don't care if it's US, EU, Russian, liberals, Marxists, whatever propaganda. Just get it out of here.
You claim to be against propaganda yet you spread propaganda in your comment history. Might be worth doing some reflection.
Please don't lecture me on your semantics. Then every word that comes out of my mouth is propaganda? "My mom is a real good mom". Aha propaganda! Let me be more specific then: your political propaganda simplified through memes.
You know exactly what I'm talking about when I call out the propaganda memes. Do I promote political opinions? Yes. Do I using a f'ing meme sub to do so? No. This is what I was complaining about - not your view or opinions on the matter of politics. I have commented about this a lot; Lemmy is becoming more and more of a ideological battlefield rather than a place to get together to have a good time. And then we can go into what a good time is but I don't have the time, sorry.
What you are doing has basically been a meme for decades. You are literally just regurgitating your empire's propaganda about how what its enemies say is bad.
A place made by communists has a lot of communists, and they disagree with things like your
, or your enmity towards anti-colonialism and anti-capitalism? What a surprise.
Propaganda is just messaging with the goal of influencing people in favour of some causes and the like. Obviously, not all propaganda is bad, contrary to your claim. You also do frequent places that engage in propaganda (whether good or bad), and engage in propaganda yourself.
Also, curiously, you seem to only be vocal about propaganda when your actions favour the most prolific aggressor in the world.
I'm quite aware of the definition found in dictionaries. And yes, I do propaganda based on this definition. But let's not go too much into definitions. Rather I would like you to point out some of my comments that do propagate what you call good and bad propaganda. I would very much appreciate you doing this. Not to shame or debate you but rather to reflect as you suggest and get a better understanding of what you consider good and bad.
Well, for one, in your original comment here, you engaged in pro-colonial propaganda. You have also done the same elsewhere.
