My simplistic definition of Propaganda has usually been:
"The selective use or distortion of "facts' with the primary intent to sway, alter or change another's opinion or position, and not to inform, enhance or move along a discussion at hand".

That applies here IMO, because I believe it is a fact inhaling bleach will cure/prevent COVID. The other fact internationally(?) often omitted, it will likely kill the patient.

He was talking about UV light the whole time, it's just that he has no understanding of how it works, so it was foolish to talk about it in the first place.

Then you get the other dopes hallucinating that he said bleach, when the entire talk was about UV light and its ability to disinfect. Lots of dopes hallucinating a lot of things out there, completely ignoring context.

Else it was just the difference between an off-the-cuff statement and a prepared statement. Just cadence and intonation give the hallucinating dopes all they need to work with.

I support people's right to breath bleach fumes.
Literal bleach for the gene pool.

Although when I had bat sniffles the bromide was a bit higher than what I like, soaked in the hot tub for an hour and I felt better after afterwards.

In 1995-2002 I soaked in a hot tub for half hour every morning after the alarm rang. People downtown started calling me 'blondy'.

No. It's against forum rules.

But I try to be as helpful as I can. What is the 17th letter of the alphabet?

freebeard precisely explained why I'm leaving a level of ambiguity.

In my original comment about dopes, I purposely included "both sides" so that it's a comment about politicians in general, and not a political discussion.

I'm attempting to keep it non-political by generalizing about how people make unwise or uninformed comments, and then others distort those comments to dupe others into accepting their agenda.
