It would certainly be simpler if propaganda was definitionally dishonest, but I don't believe that's the case.

OK, but the pedestrian buttons generally DO have a function.

There are lots of intersections (in Canada at least) where pushing the button is the only way to make the lights change.

And I know it works because there have been multiple cases in the past where I forget to push it, and I end up standing there for a long time, like an idiot.

It's not just a placebo, and it's weird to imagine that cities would spend all that money on more infrastructure only for the buttons to... do nothing?

Buttons aren't free.

Strange choice.

Fun!

How was that dark tho? Seemed pretty nice.
