I'm not attacking the mod, I'm pointing out propaganda. We are so used to it we do it, and don't realize we are doing it. I'm not suggesting it was done with nefarious intent, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done. We have been trained to both listen to it and to use it in our rhetoric. We do it all the fucking time.

I am pointing it out because I see it. It is not an attack, it is pointing out how we are led by the nose through propaganda down certain lines of thought. Making a clear statement of "No, it was not planned" is using rhetoric to steer belief in a specific direction, regardless of intent.

If this wasn't done with a sticky, in big bright red letters, put on the front page for as long as the poster wants, I wouldn't have called it out. When people with Authority abuse that power, even if not intentionally, it guides belief. Guiding belief with rhetoric is the definition of propaganda, intentional or not.
