  1. propaganda on Americans Don't Think the Platforms Are Doing Enough To Fight Fake News (poynter.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    propaganda
    noun propaganda \ prä-p-gan-d , pr- \

    1) : the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person
    2) : ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause; also : a public action having such an effect


    “That the existential realm of man could be taken over by pseudorealities whose fictitious nature threatens to become indiscernible is truly a depressing thought. And yet, the Platonic nightmare, I hold, possesses an alarming contemporary relevance. For the general public is being reduced to a state where people are not only unable to find out about the truth but also become unable even to search for the truth because they are satisfied with deception and trickery that have determined their convictions, satisfied with a fictitious reality created by design through the abuse of language.”

    --Josef Pieper

    Dumbfucks like you are the reason we should have an IQ test for voting.

    Wrong again libtard - https://reason.com/archives/20...

    "Comparing strong Republicans with strong Democrats, Carl finds that Republicans have a 5.48 IQ point advantage over Democrats. Broadening party affiliation to include moderate to merely leaning respondents still results in a Republican advantage of 3.47 IQ points and 2.47 IQ points respectively."
