So are the rumors about Red Skull these days true?

Er, I'm not a big fan of any type of propaganda as I feel people should think for themselves.

People can think for themselves, I agree, so maybe propaganda isn't the right word. But we can only think based on what we know, so some messages can better inform us than others

Are Aesop's fables propaganda?

Huh, WTH!?

I'm legit confused by your message.

Propaganda

"information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view."

Fable

"A short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral."

The two are nothing alike. One is a tool of manipulation whereas the other is a teaching tool.

Right. Well, I basically thought Frozen was a fable. Like a lot of children's stories. Nothing more than that. So describing Frozen as propaganda felt extreme to me.

I never said it was propaganda. I was responding to Mik's post saying I dislike propaganda in general not that I think Frozen is propaganda. And my other post was a joke thus the winky face.

I think my definition of propaganda was off. I thought it meant "information promoting a certain view", but I now think that's incorrect

Yes, that's what I thought. I wasn't accusing you of calling it propaganda. I was just conversing on the topic. Nothing more.

EDIT: I was referring to Peterson calling it propaganda.

Okay, I see now, no harm no foul. I was seriously confused by your direct response. I thought you upset with me for some reason.

lol. Not at all. Sorry about that.

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. It's not that Peterson is the model for Red Skull, it's that rhetoric like Peterson's is used by alt-right types to lead folks down that pipeline.

Exactly.

It’s not “Red Skull is Jordan Peterson”, it’s a lot of alt-right types use those sort of tactics to re-purpose their message.

People seem to forget that the Alt-right is just a repackaged form of Nazism. It’s not that Peterson himself is a Nazi, just that modern day Nazis are using these tactics to recruit young and impressionable people.

I really like this video describing the situation:



Specifically 9:29-15:00. He makes an interesting point with regards Peterson's whole Cultural Marxism spiel.

Also, can someone tell me which issue of Captain America is displayed at 5:20? I want to know if Coates wrote that issue also...

What's even funnier about this situation is that people are trying to go after Coates but he deleted his Twitter years ago.

The guy had over a million twitter followers but deleted it when he was feuding with Cornel West.

Vaush got caught in 4K being against the age of consent so you should've picked a better video.

The book at 5:20 should be Steve Rogers: Captain America by Nick Spencer.
