  I went to all the trouble of pointing out the obvious hypocrisy and propaganda not for “these people” but for everybody else.

      Those specific propaganda elements are widespread in the West and widelly repeated in the mass media even outside the US, so it’s useful to deconstruct all that for others when I am in a position to do so since that deconstruction of it will also alter their perception of other instances they saw which at the time they did not really spotted for what it really is.

      Hopefully the pointing out the mechanisms used here to construct a highly biased image will even make the readers deconstructions of it such as mine be more resilient to other instances of the same techniques being used.

      Further, how can we be sure that this poster is a propagandist sock-puppet and not just a normal person who got deceived by the modern (that relies on framing, qualifying and implying) style of propaganda and hence repeated it?

      I think that all in all, it’s better to have these things and then just deconstructing them for all to see, than silencing them. Also on principle I’m very wary of Censorship.
