Tankies annoy the fuck out of me as well, got banned from an .ml community for daring to say dictatorships are bad the other day, but he is 100% factually correct. The term propaganda itself has no positive or negative connotations. It’s just that in person people just typically only use the word when they want to imply said propaganda is bullshit. Like “Don’t listen to this it’s just propaganda”. Even the causes you support likely have some sort of propaganda, it’s not inherently bad, the word just has negative connotations colloquially.
