Isn’t propaganda just a form of persuasion? What about propaganda separates it from advertising or interpersonal communication?
Edit: Not all propaganda involves lying. For some reason, we seem to be more comfortable with a person lying to us than we are with viewing a propaganda poster that uses verifiable facts.
Edit 2: Another interesting note is that in some countries, propaganda is not viewed negatively like it is in English speaking countries.
its a disingenuous form of persuasion.
youre explicitly leaving out facts or distorting the argument to your case. so its lie by omission at best, and outright lying at worst.
Don’t most forms of persuasion leave out inconvenient facts or distort the argument to their case?
