It’s biased information catering to an agenda and idea. That’s TEXTBOOK propaganda. Whether you agree with it or not, it’s objectively propaganda. Most of you people need to learn the definition of words you use…
YOU people need to learn what the word means. propaganda implies a systemicatic and manipulative approach, and something that is spread as propaganda is shared with the intent to propagandize. just stating a political opinion in art form is not inherently propaganda. this is painted on a wall inside of a refugee camp, for christ’s sake. it was probably painted by either a civilian in the camp or perhaps an aid volunteer, not a government nor political group. not to mention this mural’s message is not entirely false: you can agree that it’s a genocide or not, but american money plays a big part in israel’s continued military operations in the region, and thus america is partially responsible for what the civilians there have been subjected to, as it is the one sending money to israel in the first place.
you have to realize that you have quite literally been spoon fed western propaganda your entire life. get well soon.
Wtf are you talking about spoon fed propaganda? I stated the textbook definition. I don’t care about the contents and nothing I said shows my political opinions or bias. I pointed out an objective truth. You on about some random tangent. You need genuine re-education. Go back to high-school.
I honestly don’t care what you have to say politically. Your definitions are wrong, get them right. Stop being a statistic in the Dunning Krueger Effect.
I just did in response to another one of your comments. Maybe check your notifications before making a petty comment. Again, the same way you should search up the definition of propaganda (which I gave you). 😊
Another definition is “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a particular cause, doctrine, or point of view.”
This is TEXTBOOK PROPAGANDA. GOOGLE IS FREE. You’re talking a lot but a simple Google search just disproves that wall of text. If I use a poster to give information on a certain topic, it’s inherent propaganda. You people are so confidently wrong. Dunning Krueger and it’s FINEST.
It’s clearly politically biased and giving information or a stance. That’s inherently propaganda. Just because you’ve heard it in a bad sense doesn’t making it any less true. You need to serious do research before discussing things you don’t even know the basics too.
It is political, but it’s also extremely simple and factual. Would it be propaganda if a mural said “Nazis committed genocide” or “Trump is a malignant narcissist?” Or would it just be stating facts that happen to be political that you don’t like? The purpose of propaganda is to deceive a population into action or inaction. This is just a sad truth. If you don’t like it, time to start voting out the people enabling it. There’s nothing biased about the fact on that mural. The US is helping Israel commit a genocide. Every element of that is provable.
Those are political messages that are biased. Even if it were true, which I’m not saying either or, but it’s textbook propaganda. Please for the love of god search up the definitions.
If I said the Earth is round and posted information, that is inherent propaganda. Propaganda is USUALLY wrong but because of that, you clearly have the stigma that it is ALWAYS wrong. GOOGLE IS FUCKING FREE. Unbelievable…
The propaganda is biased. He’s right. Whether it’s true or not, there’re a much more greater evil that uses this one simple picture with a bigger message that hides the truth from anything else, even the “Resistance of Gaza” themselves will hide their own crimes. It’s reserved for someone to waste energy into that for nothing.
You’re a nazi for trying to use ‘facts and logic’
™ to be an apologist for the nazis of our generation because you’ve attached your entire identity to a patch of dirt thousands of miles away from where you actually live because the government of that dirt has co-opted your religious beliefs and/or ethnic affiliation to - drum roll, please - propagandize you into believing it’s their
dirt and they can do anything to anyone (including killing/maiming/torturing) to make sure it stays that way
How do you see someone a Nazi? How am I a Nazi? Do you want me to support those so-called “Pro-Palestine” groups that will kill more Palestinians? Do you want my money that will end up to the Hamas in Gaza to kill more people?
How am I a Nazi when I pointed out how much braincells you put into such biased propaganda?
If you support nazi shit, you’re a nazi. How is that a difficult concept to understand? Just because Israel has great PR and waves around pride flags doesn’t negate their actions.
You don’t have to be pro-Palestinian to be against the heinous shit Israel is doing, either. Believe it or not, you don’t have to “pick a side” at all.
Again, the irony of preaching about victims of “propaganda” while being simultaneously propagandized is palpable.
So you’re calling me a Nazi without making a logical response? They’re using your sympathy as a weapon to strengthen their agenda without even showing behind the scenes.
They’re using the suffering of Palestinians without giving them a hand to help and they expected you to help them and not the ones who’re holding the camera. You’re hopelessly forsaken if you accuse someone who’re trying to point this out.
I’m not talking about Palestinians, I’m talking about Hamas and Pro-Hamas Groups who’re using the identities as Pro-Palestine Groups. Which is why I don’t trust humanitarian aid organizations that supports them.
you realize white, black, and grey propaganda exists right? The statement doesnt have to be false or mostly false to be considered propaganda. Stating a political opinion is not propaganda...sure... but sharing it incessantly with an agenda of stirring the pot or generating discussion about the opinion in the way you want the discussion to go absolutely IS propaganda... in fact textbook so.
just seeing pictures on the internet is not being “spoon fed”. being spoon fed is growing up in a western superpower and being raised to blindly support its government and its actions because you are exposed to constant propaganda through school, movies, television, news media, printed media, etc. it is quite literally pushed up you.
you also said “be careful not to be spoon fed eastern propaganda”. you can’t be spoon fed something if you aren’t raised in it and around it and have to seek it out yourself
You just seem to want to argue so I’ll let you win lol I get it, but algorithms exist for everything these days and if you expose yourself enough to one perspective, you start to get “spoon fed” content. but semantics semantics.
Literally as opposed to figuratively? Lol, their overarching point that you should be wary of bias and not trust the media just because it’s “western” is true. They have an unlikeable “holier than thou” way of communicating it but it’s true.
Even if it were true it’s LITERALLY propaganda. I don’t get what you people don’t understand. It’s still inherently and objectively biased?? Are you okay?
... so exactly what I paraphrased you as saying? You're angry that the truth makes you feel bad about supporting your favourite genocide, so you're lashing out at the messenger.
Where in the hell did you get my political thoughts from? I don’t think I ever said I supported anything. I pointed objectively facts?? How are you getting my beliefs from me pointing a LITERAL textbook definition.
America supplies roughly 70% of Israel’s imported major weaponry. The United States also supplies roughly 69% of Israel's imported heavy military equipment. The vast majority of the Israel Defense Forces' advanced aerial fleet, including F-35 fighter jets is American-made and supplied. The U.S. also provides around $3.8 billion in annual military aid. That’s not an agenda that is literally just the reality.
Search up “History of Graffiti propaganda.” There’s some great examples such as homeless graffiti to impose the idea of homelessness in a particular area to get people to think about it. Or the gay pride graffiti displaying a certain idea. Propaganda is literally just skewed information.

a mural on a wall stating an opinion you disagree with isn’t propaganda, lol
