Technique Used
Attack Opponents
This is propaganda because
This post is an attack on the late Queen Elizabeth, using a video to persuade the public that she was a very immoral person before passing. It also uses pathos by evoking the audience's emotions towards the poor children in the video. The post was also made soon after her passing, which would be a very kairotic moment in which to make an argument against her, albeit in bad taste. It is harmful not only because it is disrespectful towards the Queen and her family, but also because the video shown is a hoax and not actually of Queen Elizabeth herself, but of a short film shot in Vietnam in 1901.
