    Hmmh. I think I’d have deleted your comment as well, claiming it’s politicians’ job to lie and that you can’t be anything than with one side or an enemy. That’s kind of propaganda talking points and not really true or as simple as you make it to be. So it’d fall under the category of misinformation. But I think the 14 days timeout is way too much for that. They should have just removed the comment. And mabe the other one with unsubstianted claims about how much the USA spends on propaganda. But half of that is correctly phrased as an opinion, so it also doesn’t really warrant a long temp-ban either.

      Name a single politician in power who has never lie publicly.

        Whether they lie or not is not the point. You stated that it was their job to lie.

        The late Gregor Gysi? Idk, maybe not a good example. Alexander Van der Bellen? But that wasn’t your claim. Plus it wasn’t the context. You kinda said their main job is to lie to people. When in reality their job is to do politics by definition. That might include lying, sure. But as a general claim, it’s wrong. It’s a concequence of some dynamics. Not their job description.
