Is a video documenting racist behavior a racist or an anti-racist video? Is faking a video documenting racist behavior (that never happened) a racist or an anti-racist video? Is the act of faking a video documenting racist behavior (that never happened) or anti-racist behavior?

I don't think so. I was trying to respond to a comment in a way that was diplomatic and constructive. I can see that came out unclear.

Think they did the exact opposite

> Also, faked evidence can be done for a variety of reasons, including by someone who intends for the faking to be discovered

The reading comprehension on this website is piss poor.

How about this question: Can generating an anti-racist video be justified as a good thing?

I think many here would say "yes!" to this question, so can saying "no" be justified by an anti-racist?

Generally I prefer questions that do not lead to thoughts being terminated. Seek to keep a discussion not stop it.

On the subject of this thread, these questions are quite old and are related to propaganda: is it okay to use propaganda if we are the Good Guys, if, by doing so, it weakens our people to be more susceptible to propaganda from the Bad Guys. Every single one of our nations and governments think yes, it's good to use propaganda.

Because that's explicitly what happened during the rise of Nazi Germany; the USA had an official national programme of propaganda awareness and manipulation resistance which had to be shut down because the country needed to use propaganda on their own citizens and the enemy during WW2.

So back to the first question, its not the content (whether it's racist or not) it's the effect: would producing fake content reach a desired policy goal?

Philosophically it's truth vs lie, can we lie to do good? Theologically in the majority of religions, this has been answered: lying can never do good.
