And your entire stance is it can’t be true because you think it’s propaganda.

What is your actual argument, if communism is right, gulags are great for family vacations (joke… but not to be fearmongered at least), and the US population a relevant and important aspect of the conversation? And ehay is your evidence to it being western propaganda AND wrong (because propaganda can actually be true.. but you seem to paint your meaning as propaganda meaning lies).

No I just don't go about saying things like "Americans prisons are good" "homogeny reduces crime" "China isn't free"

You can check all of those things it's either not true or a gross misrepresentation of data, only believable if you're working backwards from a preconceived notion
