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?

I agree that political ads are propaganda. I’m saying political ads don’t seem to be trying to make people purchase something, which seems to mean the definition of advertising can’t just be about buying products.
I also agree that “we are just trying to inform people” is a bullshit justification for manipulative advertising. And fuck 50m high mcdonalds signs, even if by comparison to mcd’s usual propaganda they’re “just trying to inform people”.
