Also remember that propaganda technically doesn't have to mean anything bad.

Though to be fair, the very concept of propaganda is still a questionable one.

People forget good things can be propagandized, like the COVID vaccines. We got a slew of ads and media telling us to get it for this reason or another. From experts and data, knew the intent of the ads were for the better of man kind.

When I was a kid, commercial breaks were always labeled as "economic propaganda programing"

Dude, remember all the bullshit propaganda that was being spread about the COVID vaccine? How we were all going to die or get cronenberged, magnetized, or some mind control shit or other? Where are those people now? Can they look back on all the shit they gobbled up and then spat out, and at least admit that maybe, there’s a chance that they were possibly a little bit wrong? Fucking twats.
