I really assume it's unintentional but the parent comment isn't being reasonable - as most people would intitially think - it's doing exactly what a propagandist wants. It's exactly what a propagandist would say (as a shill, etc.).
> It could be true
That's the nature of even decent propaganda.

In fact, if it was clearly true, it would be poor propaganda. The goal of propaganda isn't to persuade people, but to consume the enemy's resources, bog them down, and confuse them - to immobilize them.
You might notice a lot of immobilization in our society today. How about a discussion of climate change? Privacy? Vaccines? What, impossible to discuss? How can that be?
Cui bono? - that's the clarifying, penetrating question; the assault on propaganda.
