Post three pieces of propaganda that target YOU (1 Viewer)

These should be things you're inclined to agree with, at first blush, but after scrutiny it's manipulative at best and propaganda at worst.

 
Be a richist!

Be like Leo!  He didn't say this but we'll use his picture to make it seem like you're on the good side of this argument.  He even sounds skeptical at first but the logic is SO CONVINCING 

Ignore anything good that comes from capitalism, and use vague terms to distinguish between ok capitalism and the bad exploitative kind.  

Pretty much the worst kind of stuff that shows up in my feed

 
Pro life? More like pro death, amirite?

This is just pure political pandering. Pro life people tend to favor the death penalty and vice versa.  Divide them fuether by pointing out that life isn't death!   

The reality should be obvious- people who favor the death penalty see it as a deterrent or as justice for the families of victims, and see abortion as the death of someone innocent. Conflating these is deliberately misleading 

 
  • Free _____            Nothing is free, someone is paying for it just like this student debt forgiveness thing .... that's a lie, its not forgiven, someone is going to pay for it
  • Tax the Rich to help the poor !!!  Yes, do that ... and they'll pass that on with good/services increase just like we're seeing right now and the poor are just as poor
  • right now its that abortion is a right - its not, its a ruling

You seem to be missing the point of this thread.  

 
Cryptocurrency might be 100% legit for all I know, but it hits so many of my receptors that it goes from scam to "this is awesome" and back to scam.

 
nope - I was pro-abortion once ... I was manipulated. Tax the Rich is propaganda as is Free ___ the is spewed 
I'm glad you found your moral compass and can point out propaganda you now disagree with.  But the goal of this thread is to identify propaganda aimed at positions you agree with.  I'd like to believe you're trying this in good faith.  

 
Clever thread.

I'll try to take note of stuff I see in the next few days to provide a decent answer. The one thing that comes to mind now is the news stories on CNN about the Russian invasion a few weeks back. 75% of them were about "the women and children." They're certainly a part of the war, but not 75% of it. 

 
I think this is a good exercise for people to partake in.   There's nothing wrong with calling out the over the top messaging these days, and maybe the act of looking into it will help you to recognize it more in the future.  

 
I used to be a lot more aggressively in favor of gun control. After looking more closely, doing some reading, and yes even listening to some posters here, I've softened my position considerably.

I still favor several common-sense gun control measures, but not others. It's also become a very low-priority issue for me.

I tend to agree with this.

Also, "they are trying to steal the right to vote, especially from group 'x'!!!!".

I understand you want me to be sympathetic to this. It didn't seem to stop 81 million to vote for the guy. Make an effort.

Get in, make a few bucks, take out your seed money, leave the rest in and just see what happens.

That's actually real.  My timeshare does this (though I haven't taken advantage of it because I have so much time banked because of COVID).  It's a good deal, our properties are beautiful.
