Uncle Sam's Hypocrisy
Technique Used
Simplify Ideas
This is propaganda because
It shows how American politicians can be hypocritical, and choose when certain things are beneficial or not, even if it's the same thing. In this specific poster, Uncle Sam is shown watching the violence happening in Hong Kong, and he is completely okay with it. On the other side, Uncle Sam is pictured angrily watching the BLM protests in America, and is calling everyone involved "thugs" and saying they should be shot. The two situations are essentially the same, but Uncle Sam is only offended by the BLM protests because he takes the protests as a rebellious, negative act against America.
