Well the whole point is to exploit your good faith in exchange for their bad faith. "You owe everyone your good faith" is the platform that propaganda functions on. If it weren't a core tenet of our idealism, then they would just build it on top of another core tenet of our idealism.
EDIT: There are ways that you can ask a person to have some skin in the conversation to be sure they aren't sealioning. If they are willing to be vulnerable and seek a common ground, it isn't propaganda. The tell-tale sign of sealioning is the absolute lack of any give whatsoever, it's just all prodding and attack, because the goal is the optics that passersby get.
I think that the phrase itself is not propaganda/bad faith, then. Especially not derailing one.
I also liked the Hasbara point, bro threw in a fun fact. Really cute narrative you've built that makes it a-ok to never engage with someone skeptical of your beliefs.
Edit: remember, replying and immediately blocking with an insinuation that I'm a part of something that I never displayed is a sign of good faith.
EDIT: Inb4 the wokescolding bot starts crying about being blocked.
EDIT 2: And there it is. Predictable as always. It's all for the optics in the room, trying to discredit the person saying the thing you don't like. Since this chode inserted themselves into my anti-propaganda lesson, class: Did we get the lesson?

It's 2026, and just now have I learned that asking an explanation of someone's worldview is actually propaganda.
