“x country has GOOD state surveillance of its people. Not BAD surveillance of its people like Y country” can only ever be propaganda.

its silly to pretend otherwise and we’re not having a serious conversation at this point.

But I do imagine that every single post which promotes, as a positive, the oppression of a people’s freedom and dignity by their own government, is either propaganda or the product of a loathing so deep it manifests in an illogical rose tinted view of any perceived competitor.

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” – H. L. Mencken

It’s hard to tell if a post like this is intentional propaganda, or just “the enemy of my enemy must be my friend” brainwashed babbling.
