        While I agree with telling off anyone who just wants to spread propaganda, I also think it's important to read opinions you disagree with. And not just to convince yourself or others, the mere act of mentally contradicting someone else's arguments can be quite an important mental exercise.

          So long as that act is voluntary rather than forced, I would mostly agree.

          Then again, when some MAJOR tragedy occurs in your life, perhaps you just want to take a break for a moment and let that burden be carried by others for a time.

          Just because you can do something does not mean that you want or must do so, 24/7/52/365.25.

          And arguably doing so incessantly is not healthy either?

          Also, the Intolerance Paradox is a real thing, so everything I said above is meant beyond that, not instead of it.

              No one should be reading opinions 24/7/52/365.25, whether they agree with or oppose their own ideas.

                Believing that all opinions are propaganda is a good starting point for totalitarianism.

                Please, even occasionally do the mental exercise that I recommend in the previous comment. Sometimes read opinions that are very contrary to yours and you don't even need to answer them, but make the mental effort to structure an answer with your own arguments, I think it is healthy to understand others

                  How do you categorize something propaganda for the telling off?

                    Normally, when arguments are lacking or so blatantly stupid that they are either propaganda or the person is so foolish that, well, it’s also propaganda, even if unintentionally.

                    If something has even minimally structured arguments, I will rarely label it as propaganda and almost never block it.

                        Hopefully your admin won't like it either but you don't know until you ask
