    It seems like you define propaganda as any type of persuasive communication, with your labeling of persuasive language as propaganda being a clear example of what you’re describing. Much like when fascists use vague words with negative connotations, you use charged words rather than explicit points to argue that my meme is dangerous. You haven’t shown how it’s inherently tainted besides saying that your observations overrule ours.

    I want Harris to succeed and I don’t think this meme hurts her. Joe is out of the way, so now we need to get behind a candidate and win. I used a meme that has been common amongst queer people and leftists to make a semantic joke, and I’m not sorry that you can’t tolerate it. I’m already careful to not create memes that can be easily misused, so I know this isn’t one of them.

    I’m annoyed that you’re taking out your anger on us, regardless of how sympathetic you might be. What did we do to warrant this hostility? What are you accomplishing? It’s just not ok to treat other people like shit, and if you aren’t gonna attempt to redirect your anger or avoid lashing out at us, you’re just being abusive. We have no duty to put up with it, so if it continues, you should get banned. Even if you are correct in your points, don’t be an ass.

      No I specified the requirement of an ulterior motive, but since you just glossed over that part deliberately to make a terribly written argument, I have now excised you from my lemmy experience forever.

      Much like when fascists

      Oh, ok. Now you’re reported too.

      Have a day.
