  • Propaganda isn’t necessarily lies. It is just biased towards the author’s agenda with the goal to persuade a target demographic. For example: an article (or pamphlets being air dropped over their lines) blasting Russia for summarily executing their own troops for retreating would both be factual and propaganda.

    That said, I agree with your sentiment. Facts counter the ‘undesirable propaganda’.









  • Yeah, the rage at every time something gets around the filters is nowhere near the stress built up while the filters were inactive.

    Annoying? Absolutely. Worth getting upset about? Nah. I’m not going to pick fights with every person complaining about American stupidity at the water cooler. I’m not going to be rude to people here just because the text passed the filter. It would be more constructive to instead, erm, direct energy towards removing the source of the problem than tilt at windmills.





  • According to Nadine Strossen, the case was part of a gradual process in the 20th century where the Court strengthened First Amendment protections and narrowed down the application of earlier decisions which upheld restrictions of free speech, in part due to the realisation that the Illinois restrictions on Nazi “hate speech” were so broad they could have been equally used to prohibit Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrations in Skokie.

    People so quick to applaud censorship need to consider how their arguments can work against them to.
