Yeah, I agree with cowbee’s point here in abstract, propaganda is just as useful for stoking activism as it is supressing it, but something tells me we’d disagree on whether Russian government propaganda is “good” or “bad”.
That’s exactly how cowbee operates. He makes a point that is a perfectly acceptable in abstract but when you get to the specifics of the real world he will absolutely throw out that point and do whatever suits his world view. He will view propaganda as something negative when it’s “western” propaganda. And then flip it around and view it positively when it’s propaganda he agrees with.
The only internally consistent logic he has is that everything he believes in cannot be wrong and everything he doesn’t believe cannot be right.
authcomms are conservatives who lick a different boot
I might even disagree with them on whether something is anti-fascist propaganda!
