The ultralib can't help but throw communists into his lil take, as if he doesn't live in a culture dominated by liberal propaganda to the point that he can't even recognize it.
So communist propaganda in the form of film does not exist?
Who said that? Communist propaganda has a big history in film. USSR had a huge film industry and artists tend to be leftist.
Howmstever, it's funny to call it propaganda, a typically derogatory term but I'm gonna say your not the kinda guy who would recognize propaganda as such if it belongs to things you consider "regular"
That's the point I was making. Would you like it explained again?
I'm fully aware that propaganda can be made in favour of literally anything, good, bad, novel or "regular" to your own viewpoint. I think it's just funny you went off over communist propaganda in particular being mentioned.
That was my point. Would you like it explained again?
Hey bit biter, that's my line.
Also, it's just fun to point out when people mention propaganda with "fascists and communists" as if doing propaganda is an evil manipulation of the public but fails to mention the most successful ideology to use propaganda, liberals.
Wait until that guy finds out about this movie https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_(1936_film)
Wait until this guy finds out about the entire USSR film industry.
You ever seen Stalker? Good movie.
Of course I've seen Stalker, phenomenal
Hell yeah
the ultralib has ultrabutthurt this user
The state of this sad world butthurt me. Do you not have a passion? Taking pride in your lack of emotion? What a weird flex
There's always something wrong with everybody else but never do you turn the mirror around on yourself.

Here's a reply on this same post where I do just that. My problem isn't "communists don't do propaganda" that's silly. My problem is calling out ideological use of propaganda without also mentioning liberal propaganda, the one we are immersed in so completely.
Shoulda read more than the very first comment before commenting on what I was and wasn't doing. :)
