    At the end of the day it’s all propaganda. Yes, I think the best version of propaganda about how to deal with the wealthy would do this, and show how it’s more effective. I don’t think creating media about how we should rely on billionaires to solve our problems out of their own good will is a good idea.

      It’s funny that in Judge Dredd the city changes as the story goes on, with political change, without waiting for Dredd to change things.

      Fuck me. Do you think making a comic about helping the poor and saving others in the 30’s was propaganda? Think about it.

        Do you think Captain America wasn’t? All media is to some extent.

          Must feel like shit to think everything ever created comes from malice. Malice is implied when you say propaganda.

            Malice is not implied by propaganda. What are you talking about? Propaganda is material trying to make you think a certain way. That can be good or bad.

              If almost all propaganda is attempting to sway knowledge to the negative, then it is negative. Ipso facto

                  Try finding a source for propagada that isn’t. I know “technically” the term i supposed to be neutral. But it isn’t

                  Direct translation from the Ministry of psychological defense mpf.se

                  "What is propaganda?

                  The concept of propaganda is inherently neutral and can be used in both a positive and negative sense, although we usually talk about it as the latter."

                  I trust their analysis about the discussion about propaganda leaning towards negativity. And if the term shifts, as languages do, i’d say propaganda is a negative term by sheer numbers.
