Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

So you know how I’m concerned? How do you know this exactly?

I’ve said that propaganda is propaganda regardless of what side it comes from but somehow, you seem to be hell-bent on being some kind of proxy victim to OP.

This is how I see it. This is how MANY people see it. This is not how you see it. That is fine. You are free to support a propagandist all you wish. But when I say that propaganda is something that isn’t reliant on what side it is spread from- and you think you have the authority to edit my comments to say that it only comes from the left- especially after I have explained to you that this isn’t the case…. several times across several posts-

You’re only showing everyone how desperate you are to be victimized. This isn’t helping your agenda. That is actively hurting it.

And again, the fact that you ONLY come to the defense of those that share it, and not those that stand against it illustrates how you’re here in bad faith to troll anyone to the right of you.

How’s that feel?

You identify anything to your left as propaganda. I'm under no obligation to punch left just because you want me to.

and not those that stand against it illustrates how you’re here in bad faith to troll anyone to the right of you.

I'm not here in bad faith, and I'm not trolling just because you don't like that what I have to say is to your left.

If you want someone punching left here, you have that covered. Punching left is all you do.

ROFL… were done here. I can’t exist within the made-up world you live in and simultaneously make any sense to you. You’re going to rearrange whatever I say to mean whatever you need it to.

At least anyone reading along will see this.

Yeah, I've heard this lie before from you.

I can’t exist within the made-up world you live in and simultaneously make any sense to you.

You make perfect sense. You don't want anyone to be exposed to any ideas to your left, so you call it all propaganda in the hopes that it will be removed for you.

You’re going to rearrange whatever I say to mean whatever you need it to.

And you're going to imagine that lemmy is vast and important enough to be a target for propagandists.

I see your definition of "done" is constructed from the same self-serving bullshit as your definition of "propaganda."
