    No one said lies, I said opinions. Like your opinion of what’s undefendable will not be exactly the same to every other person opinion of what is undefendable.

    If something is accused of being a lie, the accusation should come with evidence. If proven to be a lie then of course take it down. However if my favorite color is teal and I take down someone’s post for saying their favorite’s indigo; then that is censorship based on bias, and should not be allowed.

    The OP asked about combating propagandist. This can be anyone. Propagandist are of any ideology, theology, social group, culture. I feel my original answer is very healthy advice.

      By the undefendable I mean stuffs like neo Nazism , settler colonialism, intentionally murdering innocent civilians etc. Those are not matter of opinions

        How crude. A Nazi isn’t an opinion but Nazis would have opinions, as all people have opinions. What differentiates this, however, is that that being a Nazi is an action. They act out, have things they physically do, like cause harm.

          Nazis think nazizm is an opinion. Propagandist thinks their propaganda is an opinion. Trump play over the term opinions too to promote undefendable actions. Nazism is an ideology so not not every nazi act but can promote statements that lead to real harmful actions on inocent people

      After over a decade of consideration I came to similar conclusions. I’d like to add: a unifying national propaganda. The media used to be better about messaging. It’s important for a country to project its values in the form of unifying propaganda. It needs to be louder than the foreign propaganda stares at russia
