Propaganda is the deliberate dissemination of information aimed at influencing public opinion, often through manipulation and selective presentation of facts[1][7]. It typically serves a specific agenda and employs emotional appeals or distortions to persuade an audience[5][9].

In contrast, an LGBT theme in a messenger app promotes inclusivity and representation without manipulating beliefs. It encourages acceptance rather than enforcing a specific ideology, allowing users to express their identity freely[8]. This distinction highlights that while propaganda seeks to control perceptions, inclusive themes foster understanding and dialogue.

Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago.

An interesting collection of words in an order I’m sure made sense when you typed it.

That reminds me of the late 90s when people suggested getting a mac because macs didn’t have viruses.

They didn’t have viruses because hardly anyone used them.

In game of thrones, Tywin Lannister floods the tunnels under Castamere to just drown the Raines who had hidden themselves down there.

Just doing what their elderly conservative user base demands.
