      I dunno if you noticed but the definition has absolutely nothing to do with being in public office, lol. People are being persuaded into believing Columbus was a fun explorer and he’s the reason civility was brought to the americas, when in fact the only export was barbarism, death, famine, and bloodshed.

      You are not immune to propaganda.

            I am afraid we understand the meaning of propaganda in a different way. Good and bad is a huge simplification, but I do agree with you on that.

            I do not think this does push towards certain positions, for one because these are facts which happened a long time ago; even rewriting history completely about that time does not have a huge impact on current times in my opinion.

            But sure, go ahead and call me stupid.

            Lol.
