"Keeping the drum" is basically what they do with all foreign objects they stole. This is trying to make it look like France is in favor of cultural independence, but they are constantly having the speech of "these inferior countries don't deserve to have their stuff back, they're too primitive for that"

If an article says "Trump hugs a black guy" you wouldn't see it as propaganda?

The point of advertising as positive, something that is supposed to be normal, to have been done long ago, and that is just an exception in the middle of a lot of shit, is propaganda, yes.

I've seen a lot of articles trying to show France positively lately, often by specific accounts, that try to (for example) give a positive image of Macron, of France, of De Gaulle, of the French government, to spread the far-right extremist propaganda that comes from there (with the recent death of a violent nazi assaulter shown as the horrible murder of a poor innocent pacifist bystander), etc.

France has been transforming very very fast into a very fascist country thanks to macron, and so having articles that dare to basically say "the world is having to admit that France is right" or shit like that seems a lot that the techniques of the far right to spread their ideas. And it wasn't like that on lemmy, let's say, six months ago.
