    Believing that all opinions are propaganda is a good starting point for totalitarianism.

    Please, even occasionally do the mental exercise that I recommend in the previous comment. Sometimes read opinions that are very contrary to yours and you don’t even need to answer them, but make the mental effort to structure an answer with your own arguments, I think it is healthy to understand others

      While I agree with telling off anyone who just wants to spread propaganda

      How do you categorize something propaganda for the telling off?

        Normally, when arguments are lacking or so blatantly stupid that they are either propaganda or the person is so foolish that, well, it’s also propaganda, even if unintentionally.

        If something has even minimally structured arguments, I will rarely label it as propaganda and almost never block it.
