    Merriam-Webster reads that the definition of propaganda is ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause.

    Russia “attempting to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia” seems like it fits the textbook definition of propaganda to me. Not sure if you know how to use a dictionary, though - seems like it might be out of your wheelhouse.

      Ah well, if “spreading facts” is considered propaganda than I guess we can actually totally agree on GOP being propagandists 🤝

      I asked what it means to the individual, not a dictionary definition But that’s OK, it proves my point.
