among the many problems with (may god forgive me) the steak umms twitter account&
#39;s narrative about propaganda and misinformation being most appealing to the disenfranchised is that it just doesn&
#39;t bear any historical scrutiny. middle class is the bulwark of fascism, for example
another issue is: i wouldn&
#39;t lump together &
#39;propaganda&
#39; &
#39;conspiracy theories&
#39; and &
#39;misinformation.&
#39; propaganda has an agenda, but it&
#39;s not necessarily false; conspiracy theories are bottom-up speculation, not top-down misinfo campaigns (generally.)
