you: "Twitter is a tool of the US national security state", me: "stops reading"

you will not educate anyone or create a healthy discussion with anyone if you start your argumentation with sentences like this, which are without a doubt false affirmations, which is sad because your post might be full of good arguments that I would agree with if I would have read it all... the irony about this is that the article is about fighting misinformation and you try comment on that topic by doing exactly that, posting misleading and factually inaccurate information



Not to ding on you, but rather to make a general observation:

There is certain irony to posting a strong "allergic" reaction to a rather mundane phrase in discussion of propaganda. One could say there was effective propaganda for the phrase to become a thought-terminating cliche.
