Would conpaganda the opposite of propaganda? or is propaganda still conpaganda? Things that make you go hmmm. . James Corbett did an excellent educational series of podcasts on Propaganda., which I'm going through now. See: https://corbettreport.com/category/propagandawatch/ . Here's a good interview James did with Mark Crispin Miller, who is a 20 years tenured professor and expert on propaganda at NYU, who survived a cancel-culture attack by some little snowflakes that tried to get him "Bret Weinstein'd" becausue of comments he made on his personal, non-NYU blog. Here's the story on that: (https://www.thefire.org/news/nyu-ignores-academic-freedom-investigates-mark-crispin-millers-course-content-blog-post) . And here's James' podcast with Professor Miller: How to Disarm Propaganda https://corbettreport.com/solutionswatch-propaganda/ Enjoy!

Thank you, KW, for these links to James Corbett and Mark Crispin Miller. I follow them both and indeed they have both "taken a proper gander at the propaganda."

I especially appreciate your pun about pro vs con pro/con-paganda.

Thank you, MG, for the encouragement. I'm driven to deliver on my MEEMINGFUL stack's description:

"Whimsical wordplay paired with visual puns opining on the world at large as well as the world within."
