    Because propaganda is something else. We have a term for them, “morenazis” (something like brown-skin nazis").

    One of the reasons I got so bored with Reddit is that in the largest sub of my country, r/Colombia, there’s a clusterfuck of right-wing neckbeards obsessed with politics who truly believe the world and the country is as they learn from it from social media (not only from Twitter or Facebook, but even from Reddit and 4chan themselves) and live inside a bubble, most probably protected by mommy and daddy. I recall those morons making fun of people watching open air TV because they think everybody should be watching streaming services, in a country where about half of the people don’t have access to the internet, another chunk don’t even have a TV and there’s people with no access to electricity at all. Hell, at this very moment there are kids dying from hunger. At the time I left they even created at least a couple more subs to openly ventilate their stupidity, r/ColombiaReddit and r/ChomposCol.

    So, it’s kind of privileged and near-sighted people with the IQ of a potato blaming less fortunate people for issues their class have caused in the first place.
