A better title would be "The Propaganda of Convenience":
Consider the concept of tying in commerce:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tying_(commerce) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tying_(commerce)
For example you can buy a specific cell phone (the tying good) on the condition of also buying a contract with a certain telecom operator.
If freedom is a virtue, then considering just the 2 products of this specific cell phone and this specific operator contract there should be 2 binary degrees of freedom, resulting in 4 options:
1. buy nothing
2. buy cellphone but no contract
3. buy contract, but no cell phone
4. buying both.
Then the act of only offering the following choices:
1. buy nothing
2. buy both
would be nothing more than false dilemma foisted off as "convenience", literally "coming together".
It's nothing but connotation games.
