I wouldn’t call this propaganda. Propaganda is done deliberately and this seems to be a popular sentiment. Even if it’s a quirk of the algorithm (which I’m not sure these could be posted chronologically, imgur sometimes does that iirc) it’s still not deliberate.
Why’d you start your comment with “heh” and end your comment with “sunshine”? Seemed creepy and condescending, and makes it seem like you feel that the backlash against Trump and White supremacy is just propaganda and not how people actually feel.
Sam_Bass’s comments are mainly mildly contemptuous one-liners. Condescending is part of the persona, and when others interpret that manner as right wing, it seems to affirm sam’s misanthropy.

Personally, I view it as propaganda still, but I don’t view propaganda as bad inherently.
Propaganda to me is just an organized effort to persuade a larger audience of people politically. Its only bad if the aims are harmful unjustly.
So people organizing a take over to reiterate “No fucking Nazis!” Is a propaganda campaign, but its based.
