First off - we all celebrate your liberation.

My remark was meant to help you when you get into a debate with a friend who hasn't been red-pilled. If you say something like 'right wing propaganda doesn't exist' - you're not going to get through to someone who thinks that the entire MAGA movement is only the result of right-wing propaganda. They are wrong of course. But they won't hear anything you have to say - if you take that position. Like black people claiming it's impossible for black people to be racist. Would you be interested in any of that person's views about racism? Nope.

But if you recognize that propaganda as a concept that does not favor any particular ideology. It is just a tool for mass manipulation. And bad people use propaganda from both extreme political sides. Then you can engage in a deeper debate with your friends.

Take weed for example - most people are pretty misinformed about marijuana due to right-wing propaganda from back in the '50s. Does that mean conservatives are wrong and libs are right? Nope.

The truth is somewhere in the middle - weed was legal before it was illegal. Like alcohol. Nobody takes the position that drinking alcohol is a net positive for your health or even for the society. But we favor liberty before government regulation, bans and control. So it is logical for conservatives to be pro-legalized weed.

Enjoy your journey into the great world of truth.
