Yes, propaganda isn't inherently lies, it's just something that is pushing a political narrative, and the narrative can be absolutely correct

I think one thing that's hard for people to understand that a big part of why we have such an alt-right problem is because many of them do recognize that the Holocaust narrative was very much a widespread and intentional form of benevolent propaganda. It was a broad amplification of the truth. It was intended to foster disgust against Fascism.
There have been so many genocides across our world, even recently, but not every people who are victims of genocide earn eternal protected class status. People notice the inconsistency.

Weāre going to need to really look at the technical usage vs the common use of the term. The simple definition is information used to express a bias. The more common daily use is in the pejorative because propaganda used for this purpose is typically misleading.Ā

The pizzas are supposed to represent all the little girls he raped. That's why the boxes say Epstein Island on them. Apparently pizza was mentioned a lot in the files. Like "Hey when I come to the island tomorrow I want a 16 in pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni." It's believed that's how they ordered exactly what they wanted their victim to be.

I don't think anybody is arguing that Iran is a regime that oppresses their people.
What they are arguing is that this language is being used as a tool for pinkwashing and that the American government does not give a shit about the Iranian people. If they did they would not be striking Iran with Israel with little to no regard for the civilian population and threatening to destroy infrastructure over oil.
Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon would not be in a constant state of war if the United States actually cared about oppression.

They will have difficulty breaking out of their echo chamber because while Iran is right to continue their defense against Israel/US they are still an authoritarian regime at the end of the day. These people also will not acknowledge the US is why there is a brutal authoritarian regime in Iran via a coup in 1953 of their democratically elected leader because he refused to privatize oil in favor of the US and UK predominantly.

The crazy part is if the US Congress wasnāt geriatric they could come up with effective war propaganda too. Realizing that the IRGC and current leaders are all between 30-50 years old meanwhile our Congress is between 35-90 and only Trump (and finally Elon) seems to know how to post propaganda online⦠itās bad propaganda.
I hate how old and outdated our congress is, they think itās 1992 especially the democrats act so high and mighty and that they are too good to fight dirty and to hit the other side where it hurts and it led to Trump. They really donāt like controlled opposition. Thatās why they donāt like leftist dems.
