In my experience, if someone mentions propaganda then one can expect something like the parent comment with the exact same arguments to appear.

> This seems as if its pointed at me.

It's not; it's not pointed at anyone, as I stated, and I had no idea of your existence until now. Please don't put words in my mouth.

> I do encourage you though to try to understand

You have no idea what I understand or don't understand, where I'm from, or anything else about me; keep your unfounded accusations to yourself. We're here to talk about ideas, not each other, and you don't know anything about me regardless.

> we suspect everyone who has a nonconformist opinion of being a bot/robot/astroturfer.

Looking at this discussion, your opinion seems to agree with the majority, so this well-worn complaint doesn't apply at all.
