    I’d define propaganda as misconstruing the truth towards political ends. If it’s commercial ends rather than political, it’s false advertising. If it’s not misconstruing, then it’s advertising or public communications. Just to set a baseline.

    I can’t find what your sources are defining as propaganda from a brief look, let’s compare to my definition.

      it doesn’t need to be misconstrued. the best propaganda imho is totally true and in context. spreading it with some kind of political goal is still propaganda.

        Cool, I wouldn’t call that propaganda, but we can work with that.

        Do the Captain America movies have an irl political goal? What would it be?

          I haven’t seen them, but I do know they work with the pentagon, so my guess is they aim to legitimize American hegemony and military spending

            I have seen them, and the government is the bad guy, with the overreach of public surveillance being major topic. You’ll need to be more specific, but that would probably entail watching them.
