No national anthem at Mavs game

[KillerLeft]

I used 2 words, certainly not my own creation.  

Who defined them as pejorative? 
Do I need to try to convey the meaning with different words that would be more acceptable? 
If so what would those words be? 

It’s ironic that you adopted a defensive posture, as my goal was to help explain to you how/why Kamm MIGHT have reacted the way he did to your phrase. Kind of the exact same point you’re making above, only in a nicer way. Somehow, you seem to have gotten the idea that I was attacking you, which lends itself to the idea that his assumptions about your original meaning might just have been right on the money. 

I was inclined to partially agree with your point, but since it now seems that you meant “woke ideology” in the exact, reductive way Kamm read, I’m 100% sure he has the right of it. I don’t think the stereotypical lump of straw to which you’re referring played much of a part in Cuban’s decision at all.

On the word propaganda, yes I chose it quite deliberatively because 

1) Its historically the word used in context of the military and control of the ways nations and groups of people think and behave.  I provided links that go back many years, before you are I were even born. 

Sticking to sanitized and safe words if part of propaganda in fact. 
Its the opposite again of free speech. 

2) The word propaganda itself is not necessarily good or bad, but it can either.  I intended to convey that. 

Part of what makes propaganda effective, especially if it is used in what we might ultimately consider a bad way, e.g. Nazism, is that people don't recognize that its actually propaganda and don't consider the fact that may be manipulating them.  

Not saying it is, but if they know it may be, they might think more critically of what being fed to them.

Yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what I wrote earlier, only in different words. You do read what other people write here, right?
