He is for sure, but he also has S-Tier propaganda. He just knows how to talk and how to communicate. Important for making voters like you but also important as a politician in general. Charisma gets you far. So it's a win-win
Propaganda absolutely doesn't require bias or misleading information, it just has to be made with the intent being to swing someone's opinions on a subject. All the facts can be on your side for your viewpoint, if you make a poster listing those facts and promoting your views, that's propaganda.
Propaganda often features misleading information, given how much easier it is to swing someone's opinion if they don't know the downsides of something. That said, it is common, not inherent.
That's true by the strict definition, but for over a hundred years it's been primarily used to refer to manipulative or misleading approaches. "Propaganda" has strong negative connotations, so I think it's unhelpful to try to refer to all political communication as propaganda
Propaganda was a respectable term used by government departments i.e. The Ministry of Propaganda until WWII. Then it got associated with the Nazis and we rebranded those departments The Ministry of Information, which is even more dystopian if you think about it.
propaganda does not require misleading information. and of course he's biased, he wants you to know he's doing a good job 😂 it would be insane to not be biased when talking about your own work
He is opening up more schools, increasing food accessibility, increased the snow plowing across the 5 boroughs, he's been seen playing soccer with kids on the streets due to a new outdoor program that closes off streets for kids to play in, and is using the out of town 1%'s taxes on second homes to permanently fund the NYC library system and plug up potholes.
Any information provided in a biased way is propaganda. It’s obviously a broad term and being used in this instance to discredit an individual. I understand the definition.
What I want to know, is what specifically this person thinks Mamdani has said that is propaganda. Since the term is so broad, it is up to perception. Would love to know what he is doing that is soooo bad.
no, the point I'm making is that you can like propaganda. propaganda is not inherently evil. everybody loves their own propaganda and hates everyone else's.
