Sounds like China’s propaganda is just truth
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
Fr I hate how people have started saying "propaganda" as a synonym for "disinformation" when that's already a common word
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.
I think I must have been unclear, I'm saying it gets portrayed as false because it has an agenda
You don't know where they got lie from? You've never ever heard propaganda used pejoratively?
Propaganda used to mean to just promote/publicize something. USA used so much lies it started to mean lies in USA ig (just a hypothesis)
