I’m not saying that you (op) are part of the propaganda machine. The algorithm that brought this photo to my eyes is. Maybe I’m jumping at shadows but the country music HURAH isn’t organic. It’s all different versions of Checkov’s gun. You see a loaded shotgun in act one and the gun will be fired by the end. The more loaded weapons we see the more likely we are to expect them to be used.
I wish I had a graph of references to atomic weapons in social media over the last ten years. We are all being prepared. After 9/11 it was discovered that the only thing that sells better than sex is anger.

Who made the LW algorithm inorganically push propaganda that lines up with Trump’s agenda?
Or are you suggesting the upvotes themselves are fake? That rather than people simply being interested in the photo, that there are bots waiting to push the insides of a battleship because that translates into political gain?
I’m not trolling you. There are bot accounts everywhere. Maybe fewer here than on reddit but the same principles apply. We have been in a propaganda war for at least ten years. “Real” was the first casualty. Again, op, I’m not calling you a propagandist. There is nothing inherently wrong with your picture. BUT pictures like this that have been added by regular people using social media as intended can and are used by bots to push one agenda or another.

I think he’s trolling you. The photo is fine. I like history. And a majority of humanity unfortunately is fighting wars.
The other guy must be fun at parties.
