    propaganda is just a red scare loanword for publicity, but americans get pounded into their heads that it means something is a lie. since liberals do their best to ignore class they get to be “objective” and somehow free of class bias

      Actually propaganda is portrayed as a tool or method to influence peoples opinions on something usually political. I don’t know where you got “lie” from but it’s not always a lie just trying to influence you. Some truths can also be used as climate change activists will use burning forests or climate disasters for visual effect but is ultimately climate change propaganda that works effectively.
