    propagandists don’t always need to invent false facts to use them in deceptive ways

    Doing some subtle straw man arguments there, huh? Or just missed the rest of the comment?

    If I use a true fact and blatantly ignore other facts and context to try to start an ethnic cleansing, should I be censored or not? The most dangerous lies are the ones that have bits of truth in them to gloss over the bad bits.

    Don’t pretend that intent isn’t important, or that the world is black and white. Ignoring nuance is the most egregious underlying issue with conservatives.
