What exactly is propaganda?

426 viewsOther

I hear it used all the time, but noticed I don’t know exactly what it means. The actual definition of it is very broad.

“The spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.”

However, this doesn’t quite feel like how the word is often used. I’ve only ever seen it used with a negative connotation. If I were to spread information about climate change for the planet, am I spreading propaganda?

humans tend to believe something if it is told to them enough. propaganda is a message that is indented to be believed by the population without any regard for truth. it’s just a tool for furthering an agenda.
