I am talking about THIS VIDEO and all the information contained within it. You are giving a scope of the larger picture, though you have provided no actual evidence. It isn't that I don't believe you, but it is important to note, since my statement that you are responding to is all about what is presented.
Propaganda can be true or false. It can (because of how we have been trained) be intentional or unintentional. Regardless of intent or veracity, propaganda's design purpose is to take a piece of something and present it, without all the important context, with the design of eliciting a specific response despite not having all the important context. Propaganda is an incomplete information that is designed to guide societal belief and action.
That is exactly what this is.
YOU have provided more context (again, without actual evidence, but within the scope of this discussion I understand, and I am not asking for it). What this video shows is something that looks very orderly, and very slow. It even looks like they are being checked before entering. It all seems pretty reasonable actually, without the larger context. Yet it is presented as "an invasion." THIS is not what an invasion looks like. There is no way to extrapolate all of your claims from this video and the text of the tweet, yet it is designed to create the belief that one should extrapolate all of your claims.
This is not me being "skeptical." I am aware of the larger problem (or at least other evidence of it). This is me talking about how we present information and the flaws in our methods. If you want to convince someone that there is a problem when they believe there isn't one, this piece, that looks exactly like propaganda, will not convince anyone of the actual problem at all, because of the reasons I have stated.
Communication is key. There are methods that work to convince, and methods that do not, and methods that only work to create a divide. Those that already believe, or already know the other context will be more convinced. Those that do not will be less convinced and consider the presentation suspect, thus creating a further division.
This is an information war. Learning how to communicate the problems in a way that people can see is essential. People have been brainwashed. They have received specific training to ignore the problems,, or worse, view them as the opposite of a problem. That is what we are fighting. Things like this accomplish the opposite of intent (or apparent intent). That is what I am calling out.
