Another meaningless pejorative for uncomfortable realities.
“Propaganda” never implied mistruth until American reactionaries literally changed the definition during the Cold War, implying themselves as the sole purveyors of truth, anything else being propaganda, without ever having to contend with fact.
American Exceptionalism is the dumbest fallacy imaginable.

Uh…
That’s kind of easy to disprove buddy…
Hence, “any movement or organization to propagate some practice or ideology” (1790). The modern political sense (“dissemination of information intended to promote a political point of view”) dates from World War I, originally not pejorative or implying bias or deliberate deception. Meaning “material or information propagated to advance a cause, etc.” is from 1929. Related: Propagandic.
I’m advocating, propagandizing, for democracy. Russia is defending the democratic human right of self determination after a U.S. bankrolled fascist coup.
Ukrainians can’t vote. All opposition parties have been banned. All opposition media has been seized. Men can’t even leave to escape the conscription thugs kidnapping them into vans like ICE agents. Busification.
Russia also supports Palestinian liberation. Awesome. Cool.
You can boil it down to one man, and that’s fine. Putin has massive support among the Russian people, more than any Republican or Democrat ever had. And they’re the only ones that matter.
You don’t get to tell sovereign people on the other side of the world that they “voted wrong”, for Putin, for Yanukovych, or for the countless other democratically elected leaders America has couped, overthrown, kidnapped, or murdered.
Our enemies were never foreign, and you’re a chump to believe that.
You should keep reading. There’s some good stuff in there.
I mean, it seem to mostly be recent bans for spreading Russian propaganda…
I don’t really need to scroll all the way thru

So you’re off by about 30 years
But I think the big issue is you think “propaganda” was the bad word and not “Russian”…
Some propaganda is for a good cause, no one is shocked by that.
But no propaganda from Putin is good, just like no propaganda from trump is good.
If you started posting “healthcare is a human right” propaganda, you’ll get a much different reaction.
But if you spread pro-putin propaganda and expect a different result than pro-trump or pro-netenyahu…
You’re in the wrong place.
No one here is going to be convinced Dems are as bad as Republicans or that Ukraine is as bad as Russia.
But it’s pretty clear this account isn’t going to last long. I guess I’ll see you on your next one.

Jingoism is a distraction for small minds.
