    it doesn’t need to be misconstrued. the best propaganda imho is totally true and in context. spreading it with some kind of political goal is still propaganda.

      Cool, I wouldn’t call that propaganda, but we can work with that.

      Do the Captain America movies have an irl political goal? What would it be?

        I haven’t seen them, but I do know they work with the pentagon, so my guess is they aim to legitimize American hegemony and military spending

          I have seen them, and the government is the bad guy, with the overreach of public surveillance being major topic. You’ll need to be more specific, but that would probably entail watching them.

              It doesn’t seem to fit with the criteria of being for political ends, so it wouldn’t be propaganda.

                  So I don’t think it should be on this list, and I guess you don’t disagree.

                    I’m confident it is propaganda, but not having seen it, I don’t know what politics it is pushing.
