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.)
