That's what makes the best propaganda. You don't argue your point trying to convince people you're right, you assume your position is already correct and accepted & move forward from there
Something in what you said just made it click why it is so hard to argue with liberals.
I provide actual reasoning and facts and explanations as to why their beliefs are wrong. And they can moralize about the mode in which I express that and then just declare things as "legitimate", " law", "terrorist", etc
And it's easy for them to fall into that pattern when the grand majority of (western) popular culture and politics operate that way. Liberalism is the default, treated almost like a natural constant. As much as I despise marvel slop they are dominant in western culture and so a great example. Like half the villains have a legitimate grievance that they address in a direct manner (though in a mustache-twirling evil way) that the "hero" stops because the status quo is obviously correct and the villian is obviously wrong for trying to change anything.
the old "we must throw off the shackles of the oppressors and build a more just and fair society! now excuse me while i burn down this orphanage"
Back panther & killmonger (his fucking name come on) immediately springs to mind. Dude is trying to spread anti-colonial struggle and fight back against the Great Satan while the literal hereditary monarch who's also a special ubermensch (superheros are inherently fascist but I'm preaching to the choir) has to beat him with help from the CIA (lmfao) because of course killmonger isn't following norms or whatever
And pop culture made sure to push Black Panther (again what a name for a reactionary figure) as the aspirations black representation. Keep fighting to keep that status quo tho
