Ok fair point. But I think that just any level of critical thinking is leftist propaganda in a way. Science says there is a gender spectrum, autism is real, the climate is collapsing, our current economic models don't work, sociopaths tend to get into power, all of these scientifically verifiable facts are considered leftist. True art that asks you fundamental questions is leftist, because examining the human condition leads you to conclusions that abhor suffering. That can be graffiti or a scene in a Pixar movie.
I think my point is that the left don't need manipulative propaganda, because we have truth on our side. And if we were able to rally properly, that would be enough.

    That truth doesn't say "be one of us and be proud".

    Also, you have it reversed: We are not able to rally properly, because we don't do manipulative propaganda. You have to get ppl off their asses nowadays. Most ppl are like really, really stupid. They need to be led. If we don't do it, the fascists will. Also the regressives (often called conservatives) actively make ppl more stupid, because they know the left won't harvest those sheeple.

    It fucking does. I'm proud of who I am.

    I'm not sure I agree that stupidity and lack of conviction go together. You don't need to be able to do calculus in order to understand that hurting people is wrong.
    Manipulating people into doing what you want them to do is a cunt's trick. It introduces the kind of hierarchy that eventually fails.
