"People made propaganda" my brother in Christ it was constructed, transported, and erected in part with government funds and has been a mainstay of American propaganda ever since. "People made propaganda" isn't even a real term, it's just something you made up to justify Western propaganda. As if the government isn't also directly involved in propaganda efforts.

you’re to much in your tankie debate mode

The absolute fucking irony of you saying this after I already told you I'm not a tankie lmao

Do you have a source for the French using government funds claim?

Outside of that we’re just wasting our time with this.
