Pointing out problems is not propaganda. It may be dividing because people don't want to admit the truth. But not propaganda.
Depends on the "problems" being pointed out, and for whom they are a problem. Any number of the "problems" listed are situational 'some of the people, some of the time...' etc, etc. Your truth is not the truth. No one person's is.
Most propaganda is targeted and is intended only to tell people what they want to hear. With you it succeeded, it hit your spot, with others, it will not.
Besides, pointing out problems without positing solutions is, in of itself, divisive because it implies that these things can, or even should, be taken away. And they can't. Some of those "problems" pertain to the individual's right to freedom of expression and those "problems" are placed alongside national socio-economic issues, in the same context, and you really can't see how you are being played? It doesn't immediately feel as though you are being spoon-fed your own malcontent with the state of "America"?
he overproduction of young; the inability of resources to keep up with the rising human population; and the irresponsibility of the lower classes. To combat this, Malthus suggested the family size of the lower class ought to be regulated such that poor families do not produce more children than they can support. Does this sound familiar? China has implemented a policy of one child per family (though this applies to all families, not just those of the lower class).

When I think propaganda, I don't think of things that are true. I think stuff that is made up.
I will give you an example:
Truth...our borders are being over run.
Propaganda...Trump paid hookers to piss on him.
Pointing out problems is not propaganda. It may be dividing because people don't want to admit the truth. But not propaganda.
One of the greatest truths is that people don't want to admit they are wrong and admit the truth they believed is wrong.

Yes. Mark my words, print it out, frame it.
Illegal invasion is by design, It will cause so much discourse that the government will create a reason to breach everyone's privacy to "find these illegals" but in reality it will be to monitor everyone. It's going to get so bad people will be ok with losing more rights to "clean up the streets" from all of the crime they are allowing to happen.
Typical communist/Marxist.

Funding foreign wars was #19 after I just watched the majority of our elected officials waving the flag of a foreign country in the capital.
This video would have more impact if it didn't watch like a Republican campaign video.
Just sayin.
