OK; I think I see the problem here and in other threads. I wish that I had looked at page 2 earlier.
@Unveiled Artist , per your discussions with
@Subduction Zone as noted here….
…you are being a confrontational nit-picker.
Yes, the definition of the word “propaganda” does exist as the following….
prop·a·gan·da. /ˌpräpəˈɡandə/
See definitions in: All Politics. Roman Catholic Church
noun. 1. information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
But as
@Subduction Zone points out
you seem to be intentionally leaving out the “
biased or misleading nature” from your definition.
Without that caveat then “propaganda” is the same word as “commercial campaign” or “information” or “educational materials”.
Society has, by and large,
defined propaganda to distinctly include false and misleading information.
Being told the same thing over and over again, such as a child being told how to add single-digit numbers in elementary school, is
not a sinister propaganda campaign. It is simply sharing correct information. It is “education”.
The
educational campaign to get people to save themselves and all of us from a disease via vaccination is
not propaganda, except in the imaginations of the most nit-picking English major. The fully alive and active campaign to get people to fight
against their own best interests and turn down their free vaccine
is, by all definitions, a truly heinous propaganda campaign.
And yes,
I know many twits who will jump up and scream
“Educating?! Bah!! You mean “Indoctrinating!”
And they can all go suck a rock.
