In this case, all bullshit Yank media that makes you think America are good guys and cops help you.

I don't think that's a good definition, since Holocaust documentaries would be propaganda since it makes America look like the good guys.

That would definitely be propaganda since it was the Soviets who actually did all the work while the American's ratlined the Nazi's into their country, allowed them to transform their government institutions, consolidated power during the red scare and became a Nazi Empire over the next 80 years.

American’s ratlined the Nazi’s into their country,

FYI, the Soviet Union also recruited Nazis into their ranks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim

Let me get this right, your saying all reporting on the Holocaust is propaganda?

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I'm saying everything you know about everything is propaganda. Try reading books, specifically by Bernays then come back to this conversation.

You fucking yank libs with your bullshit exasperations - Let me get this right, lol have you ever read a book? You don't need to reply, I know the answer and I blocked you because I don't have time to be libsplained, just posting memes that you're proving right.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think any books I've read you'd call propaganda, I'm not sure what you wouldn't call propaganda.

Well you see, American propaganda is cringe, while my superior vintage Soviet propaganda is based.

Hoped this comment was helpful :)

So only bad guys solve murder cases?

Good guys let random vicious murders on the loose.

I should trust an obvious propaganda expert , but I don't know....

I mean you ever see The Wire? In the first season the "heroes" beat the shit out of bystanders so much a child loses an eye. They then go on to solve murders.

I haven't see the wire. But I don't remember they doing that in CSI Miami, they just solved murder cases in ingenious ways.

For some people CSI is like extreme propaganda. Then they proceded to eat a literal propaganda video from a terrorist group that's literally murdering people and justifying why they are murdering people and be cool with that. The other guy literally threatened me over that, it's crazy.

I'm glad I don't know you in real life
