It's garbage, that's why no one is going to waste their time listening to it, much less waste time responding. It's been a popular meme in certain lefty circles. | ||

Like all sorts of serious policy proposals. | ||

If you're gonna whine about your memes not getting addressed, hold your own on all memes. Past slave laws were focused on denying blacks their second amendment rights to keep and bear arms, "does the truth hurt so much?" Politics is memeing. You're all trending towards mini Trumps now. Own your new identity. | ||

I was annoyed that other people were dismissing the PragerU video as random crap and argued that they shouldn't because it's propaganda and it shouldn't be simply dismissed. I realize that you're trying to follow a narrative but please put some effort into it. | ||

I'll try to remember to add the "but one guy got annoyed, so we register his annoyance along with the point" next time. Like, when I'm responding to the guy that memes hard with "truth hurts" and "why is nobody discussing this" that clearly only likes his history in propaganda form. | ||

The other guys weren't saying it's propaganda, so you were specifically talking about my post. Also the notion that when something is propaganda, people get to dismiss it, is absurd. If you genuinely believe that someone is maliciously spreading a false narrative to help their cause, that's when you need to address it the most. | ||

It's in keeping with similar treatments of those videos in the past. You're not the first to allege it, and frankly it's not an insightful deep read of a conservative outlet posting the facts in a conservative framing. Methodman needs some help along with the history of "random video, ignore that and listen to my facts instead" in this forum and in political discourse today. Then, he'll know to provide why this one's different, or why the past doesn't matter or is different than was perceived. | ||

Do you distinguish between "posting the facts in an ideological framing" and "propaganda" and if you do, please let us know what the difference is for you. We will then be able to discuss whether PragerU is in the first category or in the second using your criteria. | ||

I'm not looking for semantic games with you after you thought I intended to single you out. This subject is dead until the original person gets back on to post something. You're just trying to bait and troll until you find somebody dumb enough to talk about a youtube series along the lines you want to discuss it. | ||

Every time your beliefs are actually challenged you bow out with this type of message. Also, the difference between giving an ideological framing to facts and propaganda is semantics? | ||

You have a very low regard to the meaning of dispute. I dispute this, therefore both of us better recognize that this disputation is central to our argument! Is this what your teachers focus on in law? | ||

- The left is trying to dismiss my opinion. - Hi, I'm politically to the left of Sauron so you're talking about me, let me engage your opinion. - I repeat my opinion. - I'd like to challenge that. - You're a troll, I'm dismissing what you said. | ||

Oh you singled me out 2. Oh you didn't single me out? Let's discuss the difference between propaganda and ideological framing of facts 3. Oh you don't want to do that instead? You're running from the argument! Yeah. You're reminding me to not even bother. | ||
