If only they were only exposed to my propaganda. "Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth and sooner or later that debt is paid"

- afavour 2y agoI don’t see the value in your contribution here. There is an objective truth I think everyone participating in the discussion agrees on: Trump lied in campaign speeches and the reality was clear to those in possession of all the facts. Events post election have indeed confirmed that he was lying. So what is “my propaganda” you’re referring to? There’s just a truth that some people weren’t made aware of.
- throwaway48476 2y agoI see lying as institutional laziness on the decade scale. The propaganda is pervasive enough to not realize its there at all. You shouldn't accuse others of being in their own informational bubble without realizing you're in your own. The desire to disenfranchise is also an extreme authoritarian impulse.
- afavour 2y agoI ask again: in the context of this discussion, what is my propaganda? What am I saying that is untrue? You’re using a lot of vague lofty statements. Be specific. > The desire to disenfranchise is also an extreme authoritarian impulse. Just as well I didn’t do that then!
