The sort of propaganda circling on these platforms is sophisticated in its misuse of facts. One could, for instance, speak completely factually about Canada's history of colonization and genocide - TikTok, interestingly, does - but if one is doing so as a representative of a government whose current policies are genocidal (ref. "Uyghur"), is that a representation of what you think of as truth telling?
I am endlessly amused by myself these days, because I was literally raised as a Marxist, with literally Karl Marx on the bookshelf and Reagan was a satan to me as a kid, but wouldn't know you know it, when I talk about Communists these, dirty fucking communist rats who cannot make their own society worth living in and therefore need to tear down the good ones, boy do I sound like Joe fucking McCarthy.
