    So you’re still maintaining that propaganda doesn’t exist?

    It’s not a newsbot just posting articles as they come out. It’s not a person reading articles and sharing interesting content.

    It’s a person spamming pre-selected articles without even reading them. Thus they’re not adding anything, because they don’t even understand what the thing is they’re posting. They’re spamming.

    If it was a person who posted the things he read, it would be different. But it’s not. It’s clearly spam with an agenda, and again, if you can’t see it, I can’t help you. Perhaps try taking some media literacy courses?

    Then again, to be honest, I think you completely understand my point and this is the same age old tired bad faith bullshit.

      Them:

      That’s cross-posting. They’re adding something to the community.

      You:

      So you’re still maintaining that propaganda doesn’t exist?

      This isn’t even mental gymnastics, it’s mental parkour. You’re just jumping all over the place, ain’t ya?

      Anyone can post with an agenda, if they want to. We all have an agenda of some kind. Just like you do, against this one person with whom you’ve taken umbrage.

        The childish avoidance was quite charming the first year or two, but now it’s getting just kinda tiresome.

        “Oh Russian propaganda? No but everyone has an agenda, so Russian propaganda is nothing more than than that!”

        See before; “this is the rhetorical equivalent of fighting 5-year olds”

          One person having an opinion isn’t propaganda. I have been ignoring your point because it’s daft hyperbole. Block the person who’s upsetting you and post about cars as much as you like. This clearly isn’t making you happy.

            After like a dozen times of talking about how he can’t possibly read those articles he’s spamming, how do you think he would form his own opinion, when he doesn’t even read the articles?

            You know this. You can try to draw this out as long as you want, but you’re just going around in circles, pretending not to see the obvious. It’s pathetic.

            How do you think Russian disinfo and misinfo shows up online? Do you think they post “You should support Putin!” posts? That’s a rhetorical question, I know you will never answer any of this.

                    You don’t even realise it but your quality of rhetoric is devolving.

                    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences)

                    Propaganda isn’t synonymous with lying you uneducated twit.

                    For instance [email protected] did the exact same type of spamming of “don’t vote genocide joe” and later anti-harris articles. Are any of those untrue? No. Did it help Trump win? Yes. (No matter how marginal the effect.) He also claimed to be American, when he painfully clearly isn’t.

                    So yah, the quality of your rhetoric is going down. Maybe take a breather, have some krokodil, go to bed and try again tomorrow.
