Propaganda does not have to have a hidden agenda. Literally the “I want you” uncle Sam poster is propaganda. That agenda was pretty obvious, there was no question who was behind it and it was pretty clear why it was commissioned in the first place.

There has been propaganda encouraging car-pooling, reusing materials, conserving electricity, promoting employment etc, and many of them even had credits as to who the message was coming from.

Propaganda is not inherently evil, but it’s important to understand the context and where it’s coming from.

It already is an option in certain states in the US and I think parts of Europe.

They took a holiday about an Italian who had nothing to do with the US much like that man took indigenous people prisoners? That's what didn't sit right with you? So weird to think an Italian funded by the Spanish was somehow important enough to a country that didn't exist for another 300 years that the government made it a federal holiday.

More time passed between him erroneously finding the Americas and the signing of the Declaration of Independence than the US has even been around.

But it’s a nothing comment. Water has an LD50. It’s 90ml/kg. LSD has no known LD50 and has not been the sole cause of any known death. Drowning in it would not mean you died from LSD toxicity, you would die from asphyxiation. Sand doesn’t have a lethal dose but can still kill you. But it wouldn’t be from sand overdose.

Yeah but then that could be said about literally everything.
