    Its not propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

    Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.[1] Propaganda can be found in a wide variety of different contexts.[2]

    Also, discrimination or devaluation of anything (animals, bugs) is unnecessary for us to survive but is a gateway drug to devalue each other (minorities, immigrants). There is no rational reason to see a hierarchical order among them.

      it is propaganda: it’s used to influence the audience to further the antispeciesist agenda

        You‘re totally correct! How could I not have seen that! Not like we’d have a problem with people accepting wage slavery for the fact that they‘re still better than [insert further marginalized group here]. /s

            I never said you said anything. Thats the beauty of it. Its not propaganda since it doesnt appeal to emotion but to rational thought. Pointing out how stupid hierarchy is was easy.

              it is propaganda. appeal to emotion is not a necessary facet of propaganda.
