You're viewing a single thread.
You can tell from the comments in this post that Americans are immune to propaganda.
In their view propaganda only comes from rouge nations, and their superior intellect safeguards them from the impact of foreign propaganda. Despite living in the worlds most propagandized country.
I somehow don't think the US is more propagandized than, say, North Korea. I want a source on this or I'm just going to assume you're pulling it out of your ass.
Yeah I'm pretty sure if I were being propagandized I would have heard about it on the news. In North Korea they believe that Kim Jong Un doesn't poop. And I know that's true because I saw it on the news.
Just from the sheer fact that Americans probably consume more media than North Koreans, you would expect Americans to be more propagandized than North Koreans.
I'm gonna go with that it's typically pulled out of their ass for some sweet dunking points

Can't tell if typo or extremely clever pun
... Orange man didn't get elected on his wit and charm.
Im referring to democrats that see propaganda everywhere except their own back yard
"In addition, pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) and a seizure warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Empire Navigation, the operating company of the vessel carrying the contraband cargo, agreed to cooperate and transport the Iranian oil to the United States – an operation which has now concluded."
Link came from this CNN article. Would you say that ignoring the facts of a situation and using it to push an agenda would be, perhaps, propaganda?
transport the Iranian oil to the United States
So everyone is cool with the US taking stuff that isnt theirs?
You didn't answer my other question -- if China seized oil from an international shipping company, because China had sanctions against selling oil to the US after designated them a sponsor of terror, and a Chinese vessel was going to be used, would you be just as upset?
Because I'm fine with the US seizing goods from a US ship if they're violating US trade sanctions -- just like I'm fine with China seizing goods from a Chinese ship if they're violating Chinese trade sanctions. If the company didn't want to have their cargo seized, they shouldn't have used a US/Chinese ship to act against US/Chinese sanctions.
I'm not good with it in either situation, sanctions are ecocide.
Well you're consistent, which I appreciate and respect.
Never heard of a little place called North Korea? Read a book.
Have read a book, its called projection.
That's a weird title. Is it about film displays?
