What Cathal said.
(And I'm saying it as someone extremely critical of my own government and who rarely passes up an opportunity to make it known.)
+1 Except I think political fanatics on lists where much of what they say is off-topic (but potentially illuminating on occasion) are so much 'noise' and anyone frequenting lists are aware of that sort of disruption... Knows how to hit their OWN 'spam button' I'm emphasizing OWN because one poster suggested using a spam assassin script on one's mail server. That's fine if all you're 'serving' is YOUR OWN MAIL. I wouldn't care to see that happen on a relay or other server providing mail to more than ONE person and wouldn't want to associate with anyone who did so. I think it would be antithetical for anyone interested in a list with strong connection to things "Free Speech" to be posting here. RR

Propaganda is on-topic only insofar as it explores cointelpro, persona management, etc: not strictly crypto, but subversive and political (ab)uses of communications technology.
And, while we're on the subject, I suspect much of this pro-anything-not-West crap is likely to be just that: cointelpro to discredit the genuine content and discourage subscription/participation by a wider audience. It's pretty effective, I think.
