Your argument relies on a litany of logical fallacies: straw man, false dilemma, sarcasm as substitute, slippery slope, red herring and on top of that you’re gish galloping and making a bad faith argument.

I’m just going to address your comment about Black people and sports.
Black people do not have a higher natural talent in sports, for Black youth sports is one of the only ways to achieve success, so they place a higher emphasis on sports. It’s evident because they are only dominant in the sports they have access to.
Pointing out that you harbor racist sentiments is not thought terminating, it’s apparent in your writing.
Thought-terminating cliché, it’s used to dismiss arguments and shut down critical thinking. It’s a tactic associated with cult language.
Nice sentiment, not based in reality though.
Voters are guided by their own personal circumstances, often punishing leaders when economic conditions worsen and rewarding them when they improve, paying little heed to the politician’s actions.

After repetitive exposure to this propaganda (repetition priming), the people were beginning to believe and stand up for what each respective government had been flashing before their eyes, without them even knowing it.

The fact of being exposed to propaganda and misinformation, repeatedly and continuously, has a psychological affect over time.
The individual must not be allowed to recover, to collect himself, to remain untouched by propaganda during any relatively long period, for propaganda is not the touch of the magic wand. It is based on slow, constant impregnation. It creates convictions and compliance through imperceptible influences that are effective only by continuous repetition. It must create a complete environment for the individual, one from which he never emerges.
Propaganda, Jacques Ellul

A single sentence can contain multiple fallacies. Also it’s 5 logical fallacies, 1 rhetorical technique and 1 that just describes your general attitude. I’m not wasting any more time on you.
