I guess I don't see a problem with organized advocacy for any group. I don't even see a problem with Russian bot farms manipulating public opinion and dividing their opponent's democratic coalitions.

We probably agree that censorship is worse than propaganda. At least with propaganda I am free to research and consider my own explanations.

The most difficult thing for me is to link a series of well-researched points into a coherent and persuasive argument. Apparently I'm not the only one who struggles with this.

No doubt you are working for a similar Israeli advocacy group.

LMAO...wheeeeEEee, welcome to Tom's world. Israel is a modern apartheid state and neoconservative lab doing horrible things to peoples and governments worldwide in the name of it's 'security.' There is so much evidence of bad faith dealing, you don't need hidden conspiracies.

Further evidence that sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you're a fool than open it and remove all doubt. Like the fictional character you chose as a username, your opinions are non-sensical and irrelevant:

"Tolkien described Tom in The Lord of the Rings as "just an invention" and "not an important person – to the narrative", even if "he represents something that I feel important, though I would not be prepared to analyse the feeling precisely. I would not, however, have left him in, if he did not have some kind of function"
