Stupid people think facts are propaganda. Stupid people think propaganda is fact. Unfortunately though, a lot of smart people think they're too smart to be fooled by propaganda and don't realise they are falling for it. Turns out, it's very hard to tell stupid and smart people apart when it comes to propaganda, which is why it's so effective.

As a note, propaganda is not inherently false or misleading. It is simply information presented in a way as to sway opinions. True information can be used as propaganda.

by dorcastremblay 1 week ago

This. So many folks think that it is only propaganda if it is untrue.

by Wilkinsonashton 1 week ago

It is difficult to tell whether smart believe actually believe favorable propaganda, or whether they simply disseminate it because it serves their purposes. In many cases they are the ones creating the propaganda to begin with.

You can easily present "facts" in misleading ways. For example: "everyone who drinks water dies" is a fact that is very misleading without proper context.

That's 1,3 million deaths, that could have possibly been avoided. I don't think Putin even had an army that large to send to Ukraine. Blessing in disguise perhaps, Trumps supporters are all just a bunch of lemmings?

Dawg what in gods green earth does that have to do with drinking water?

by Anonymous 1 week ago

It's about what you read and see, statistics and such. You don't think 1.3million people dying in the US from covid has anything to do with all those that were told it was a hoax and not to wear a mask? or the fact most of them were from red states? 'Covid-19 deaths in US worse than World War I, II, Vietnam, 9/11 combined' .. how's that? Americans killed more of themselves through stupidity than all wars combined. I'm pro vaccine for what it's worth. Most of you wouldn't be alive at all today if it wasn't for those vaccines, go talk to your grandparents or whoever was alive back then before those existed.

It's not really misleading though. It's just a fact.

by BodybuilderNo 1 week ago

It is misleading as it infers that drinking water caused their deaths.

by Randallwalker 1 week ago

Misleading indicates untrue. This is not misleading. It doesn't infer that either, people with poor reading comprehension could come to that conclusion

by BodybuilderNo 1 week ago

Definition of misleading - "giving the wrong idea or impression." We are working with different definitions then Things are misleading and true all the time, it's pretty much how the majority of political media communicates

True.

Depending on context, almost anything can be propaganda. Thinking something isn't strictly because it is factual when presented in an inflammatory context is also pretty stupid

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Don't forget the morons who believe that propaganda is truth.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

The most common form of propaganda is selective reporting of facts. Implication and connotation can also distort the whole truth. Assuming that one fact tells anything but the simplest truth is falling for it just as badly. It's the whole "dihydrogen monoxide kills" concept.

by Ok_Bid6362 1 week ago

I heard that all pesticides contain grace amounts of that dihydrogen monoxide, so be careful of that chemical.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

It's the whole "dihydrogen monoxide kills" concept. That's true though. I mean, it literally erodes rock, and causes rust but yet they put it in basically everything we consume.

You sound like a very naive person. If you can't see how allowing the government to ban whatever they think is "propaganda" would be a bad idea, you can't see much.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I see free speech often being thrown about loosely in the US, the 1st amendment is it? Over here, we differentiate between free speech, and common sense. Most people know the difference.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

The problem who decides which is which? one government parties idea of common sense is different than the others party. And it's often common sense to ban propaganda the opposition puts out while simultaneously pushing out your own propaganda.

Not everybody can have the freedom that they personally want. The world doesn't revolve around you. We do the best we can with the enormous amount of different people who want different types of freedoms.

Masks save lives. Trump developed a covid vaccine and then railed against it despite taking it himself. Biden won the election. South Dakota and Montana accepted infrastructure funds despite attempting to overthrow the 2020 election. Are you getting angry with all these facts, yet?

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Trump did not develop a Covid vaccine. He fast tracked approval of them and agreed to use taxpayer money to fund them, but he didn't develop them.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Stupid people think that propaganda is fact as well. As a result, everyone that believes [insert controversial opinion here] is stupid. Since I could never allow my ego to be bruised from considering the possibility I could be wrong, the only possibility is that other people are wrong, and therefore stupid. Due to the large number of stupid people, I have preemptively written this spoiler to clarify I was being sarcastic.

The only 100% facts you know are from your own personal experiences. If you've never been to Egypt and seen the great pyramids with your own eyes then you can only 'believe' they exist and not 'know' they exist, regardless of testimony from others and pictures/videos you may have seen. Just because something is highly likely to be true doesn't necessarily mean it is and if something is highly likely to be untrue doesn't mean it is either. Most of the objective facts we all share are just beliefs that we have chosen and labelled as facts.
