>This reads oddly like propaganda and flies against any and all of the evidence that we regularly observe

What evidence are you observing that has convinced you it's one way or the other?

I can go on Twitter and see some variant of the first comment and the second in almost every thread. What are you reading that you consider the "ground truth" that you can so easily point out the propaganda?

As a Canadian, I'm sure my sources are similar to yours, and I'm not really sure what the truth is. I assume it's somewhere in the middle. One thing I do know is that both "sides" are churning out propaganda at an unprecedented pace.



» I assume it's somewhere in the middle.

Sorry but this is not logical. You can't weigh two positions and say the truth is in the "middle". Sometimes one is more true than the other.

If one side is centrist and the other is extremist, you can't go between those two.
