"This piece was written as black propaganda, a deliberate attempt to discredit one's ideological opponent by presenting his views in an exaggerated, outrageous fashion, and publishing it as if it had been disseminated by your opponent."

Don't be silly. You could just as easily take it a further step.

But it's not black propaganda- because black propaganda REQUIRES per it's definition the assignment of a false source.
Dick writes something and says Jane wrote it.

And the basic assumption here is it was written by ER.
Other than perhaps ER having multiple personalities, it's not black progaganda.
But other the rambling and framing it in absolute terms, it's essentially correct. Not enlightening- not a convincing argument- rather something resembling a rant.
