Are there any notable differences in your opinion that differs ads from propaganda and vice versa? Or do you think that both of these are the same thing?

    Ads are a type of propaganda.

    Propaganda is simply trying to convince people of one idea or another. My product is better than another. My ideology is better than another. Propaganda isn’t a bad thig on its own. When we post fliers up denouncing some imperial core action or another, or make some public statement, it is a form of propaganda.

    Ultimately, propaganda is the art of winning hearts. It isn’t inherently truthful and it isn’t inherently deceitful. It is as honest or deceitful as its maker.
