Define “strawman” and define “paraphrasing.”

Strawman: Misrepresenting someones point as a different, less strong, point. Paraphrasing: Expressing the same concept in different wording.

Hence why I was paraphrasing, because I didn’t misrepresent your point.

Say something negative about Putin.

Are you going to do this on every post now? Do you need me to recite the pledge of allegiance every post too? Say something negative about Barack Obama.

The government moderates it

Ok. So it’s information control by the government.

Propaganda WARFARE is new, mostly online, and hasn’t been used like this before ~2016.

Lol. Yeah ok. I’m not sure who you’re expecting is going to take seriously the idea that propaganda campaigns weren’t invented until decades after the cold war.

Capitalism is inherently fascist, see The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal World Order by Gerstle. It cannot be truly democratic due to its inherent fascism, and part of that is the relentless propaganda used during capitalism via commercials, media, etc to sway people from freely consenting and critically thinking.

No disagreement here; but surely you realize this also means that control of information by a capitalist government isn’t the solution.

Propaganda warfare is literally fascism, made by fascists, to spread fascism.

Just because fascists use propaganda doesn’t’ mean that they invented it or only they use it.

Hey can you say something negative about Putin?

Wow, so you’re not just going to ask this every post, you’re going to ask it multiple times per post. Do you need me to sign a loyalty pledge too? Swear under oath that I am not and have never been a member of the communist party?
