I became more aware that some people think “Yes, this is false, but you don’t seem to understand that we’re using this false thing as propaganda” is some kind of extenuating factor that makes it okay.

Which is, alas, a very common pattern in human discourse, and in the Empire at least, is the kind of thing that wins you an extended period of banishment from the community of People Who Get To Have Meaningful Conversations About Things.

Zero tolerance for bulshytt.
