    Your comment, while accurate and true, adds nothing to the discussion at hand. These sort of comments are useless which should be left in the realm of Reddit. Do better, try harder

    “Sky is blue” “water is wet” were first recognized by Russian propagandists to disarm outrage. As In, essentially telling people “You’re stupid if you didn’t already know this.” For people out of the loop, it works.

    Informing people of this technique is bad for some reason

    Edit: Even when attempting to politely Inform someone they are using propaganda techniques you get pedantic hate from people who claim to be progressives.

      Nah, you’re just being a smug pos and coming off like a gatekeeper. But keep crying about how progressives are being mean to you.

      Also, calling someone stupid isn’t “politely informing”.

        I never claimed authority here. I identify and understand propaganda. Lemmy seems to be full of critical thinking adults who understand such things and the bad habits of cesspool Reddit. I believe everyone agrees the negatives of Reddit need to die, with Reddit.

        Repeatedly attacking other users gets your comments removed and earns you a 3 day timeout.

          No vitriol here, but feedback that this was indeed a very well-meaning but gatekeepy comment.

          Lmao, okay guy.

          I don’t understand why you keep editing your comments. It doesn’t make your arguments any better. Very shady, too. Again, you’re a fucking baby.

      Even when attempting to politely Inform someone they are using propaganda techniques you get pedantic hate from fellow people who claim to be progressives, who don’t seem to understand English.

      Lol, I sure am hurting your feelings, huh? And how does me calling you out make me any less of a progressive? Such a baby.
