Who the fuck uses "didactic(sic)" ? Who are you trying to, and failing at, show off to?

Ironic that 'didactic' is misspelled 😬

And waive rather than the idiomatically correct wave.

Ooh, a wild eggcorn! Good catch 👌🏼

looks more like not hitting the "c" key correctly, because the rest containing equally difficult words is fine

Lies by big monday to keep you buying lasagna.

I always see these memes in a pair so

♦️This is propaganda♦️

It's anti-propaganda propaganda, though, so it's not so bad. It's like a vaccine.

Unless perhaps you're an anti-vaxxer, in which case this picture gives your kids autism.

Propaganda is not inherently evil or good on its own, it’s simply a means of spreading ideas.

Oh, disagree. By definition propaganda misrepresents the truth, which makes it at best an untrustworthy tool for achieving a goal. Good and evil are facile concepts that don't carry enough nuance for this discussion, but generally speaking one who spreads propaganda should not be trusted, even if their goals or intentions apparently align with your own.

Communication is a means of spreading ideas. Propaganda is a means of spreading a specific idea with an ulterior motive, at the expense of honesty and forthrightness.

It would certainly be simpler if propaganda was definitionally dishonest, but I don't believe that's the case.

Propaganda can be completely truthful, it just rarely is.

All definitions I've found suggest that dishonesty, loaded language, presenting limited selective facts, and calls to emotion are all tactics available to propagandists, but not required to meet the definition.

Propaganda is primarily accessible to the rich and powerful, it leans evil.

Your comment is pro anti propaganda propaganda propaganda.

Edit: but to avoid being called anti, I just want to point out I'm all for it!
