I was just pointing out a key difference. I wasn’t directing at you.

Propaganda doesn’t imply facism (elimination of opposing, or any other, opinion.)

Propaganda is monopolistic, and coming from State itself, that we could argue is different.

But the whole list in the meme has differences. Yet, the parallelism is eerily pointing to outcome similarities…

*Invasion --------> liberate

We already have that one. It’s true too. They’ll liberate you back into the stone ages. They’ll liberate you so hard, your great grandchildren will still feel the pain of it.
