Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 4 hours agoFair enough. Just grabbed one of the first images a search threw. Sorry if it was out of context or portrayed you unfairly. And of course people propagandize about you too. Anyone with a strong enough voice will get bad faith critiques thrown against them and many will be with political intent.
I do think this is a fair example to exemplify the point I was trying to make, though. Your quote being out of context does not nullify its dychotomical political intent and makes my point stronger.
Propaganda is hard to identify when you’re predisposed to believe it, it’s everywhere and people propagate it without even noticing.

Sure, there are a lot of bad-faith critiques going around. I do think that your point using me as an example doesn’t really work if your example is out of context. The thing about propaganda is that anyone pushing a particular view is propagandizing, but that doesn’t mean it’s inherently misinformation. Identifying bias is important, as is developing media literacy to see where people are being less than truthful.
