    And before OP says something like he’s just here to debate. No. Debates occur in good faith. Propaganda does not need to be “debated.” It needs to be silenced, shut down, and deplatformed.

    This idea that we should engage with lies and distortions as though they are equal positions to be “discussed” or “debated” is part of the problem, not the solution. We’re wasting time trying to dissect and disprove fabricated nonsense when the truth is that propaganda is inherently malicious. It’s not about free speech or diversity of thought—it’s about manipulation, control, and the deliberate spread of falsehoods to push an agenda.

    To even allow debate would poison the very spirit of free speech. Every time we try to “debate” fascists, bigots and propagandists we allow it to exist on some level, giving it the oxygen to spread further. Bigotry isn’t a legitimate point of view—it’s a weapon designed to confuse, mislead, and divide people for the benefit of oporessoes. The moment we try to reason with it, we’re legitimizing it, giving it space to grow and infect minds.

        Try again you fascist piece of shit.

        No, propaganda is propaganda. When something is so obviously false or manipulative that it doesn’t even need to be debunked, it’s not about me “not liking it.” It’s about recognizing that there’s a clear agenda behind it—an agenda that aims to distort reality, spread harmful ideas, and manipulate people for a specific purpose. Pointing out fascist propaganda isn’t about “feelings” quite the contrary it’s fascists and there propaganda who appeal to feelings while progressives and democratically minded people appeal to reality.
