    Yeah, I get that. I do think that the way this particular word features in one particular type of propaganda structure makes it worthwhile to call out at length and talk about.

      Worth talking about in academia. Not worth talking about at length when communicating with normies or 99% of the real world.

        Yeah, what could go wrong if we let propaganda, wild misunderstandings and distortions of reality, start to impact the public consciousness and affect people’s decisions or voting decisions or whatever?

        I literally can’t think of a single downside.
