This really makes it more of a propaganda weapon than a free speech platform.

That's what the OP was referring to. If everyone is going to call out Parler for being a propaganda channel, then apply the same standards to Democratic Underground, r/politics, r/antifa, etc.

How cute, you think antifa are democrats.

But sure call it propaganda if you wish. Perhaps it is. Many anarchists such as my self are well aware of the propaganda we proactively distribute on a daily basis.

What the ancestor is complaining about is that when the right wing does propaganda, it is not called propaganda, it is called free speech.
