all media is propaganda. no org can tell you everything that’s happening, every human interest piece, every corporate move, every government policy, etc.

by necessity, they choose stories they think matter or will get clicks. it is up to you to understand the bias inherent in all media and distinguish fact from opinion, and draw your own conclusions.

propaganda, media, whatever you call it, isn’t The Truth even if it’s true.

so there is nothing wrong inherently with propaganda, even self-aware propaganda.

nazis aren’t fish. i don’t care to convert them. i want to drive the back under the rock they crawled from under.

that’s not what duverger’s “law” says.

if i elect an average right wing conservative (which is redundant) and they go on to do bad things, which is practically guaranteed, I would not feel better.

i couldn’t do that.

but what happens if you vote for someone and they end up winning?
