      “Propaganda from the CCP is not a good thing”

      “It’s not propaganda.”

      “It literally is.”

      “It’s not.”

      “It literally is, and here are the receipts.”

      “It’s not.”

      “This is the line in the receipt where it clearly states it is.”

      “Well, my point is that propaganda is not necessarily evil.”

      “Good or evil, it’s a prerequisite for anyone with pretensions to politics beyond a tribal or gut instinct to recognize that something is propaganda.”

      “You’re missing my point.”

      Please. Show me where this summary is wrong. Show me the point I missed.

          This comment summarized my point.

          The comment I quoted and responded to, yes.

          What is the point I supposedly missed?

              But this entire conversation sprouted from you explicitly denying propaganda being pushed. Saying “My point isn’t that it’s not propaganda” when every previous comment was about you denying it’s propaganda rings very hollow.

                Denying is different than not knowing. 🙄

                Edit: and you keep on focusing on that bit, even after I’ve made my point clear of what’s important to me.

                  … then you admit you were knowingly and outright lying?

                  That’s… that’s worse than what I was accusing you of.
