Sorry for all the political talk. It appears that this is the only medium where I can at least have the impression I'm having legitimate political discourse without all the bullshit.
Screencap. Because I respect the person immensely more than I respect their views, their identity has been censored in the familiar color coded censoring to tell you that it's the same person posting. Also, the link is to a Chris Rock tweet saying "If you vote against Obama because he can't get stuff done, it's kinda like saying, "this guy can't cure cancer. I'm gonna vote for cancer." And now the screencap:
And in that moment, it hit me, propaganda to share. I began thinking deeply on what is classified as propaganda. And I came to the conclusion that it means a political statement that is painted in black and white. And it covers everything. Every major speech to every minor picture posted on facebook. If it has no room for gray, it's propaganda. I often find myself fighting with my friends. If I lived annually on the number of intelligent political conversations I have with another and times it by a thousand dollars for each one: I'd still be living in poverty. No matter how much I like it, no matter how much it disgusts me. No matter if it's "Obama is a communist" (which I like) or if it's "Glenn Beck is a Nazi" (which I detest), it's propaganda. It lies without even trying to be truthful. And then when I'm having political discourse with a liberal friend. My reason becomes clouded to them because they're caught up on "Mitt is a greedy fat cat" and vice versa, they wouldn't be able to talk about viable energy solutions because I'd be caught up on "tree huggers like to waste taxpayer dollars". And if it were to be a conversation, not just a speech, then the replies would be centered around those things. And then at the end all they have and all we have is propaganda to share.
And then I get replies like this saying "Honestly, I don't care" and I lose all hope for humanity...
