A state trying to convince it's people of x political belief isn't an inherently bad thing. Going "oh this is propaganda" is a really bad way of trying to delegitimize a narrative. Like... no shit? Who cares that it's propaganda? Point out what's actually wrong with it

Yes, it's purposeful and a great success of western propaganda, to convince its citizens they are no propaganda in the west, but everything other countries say is propaganda, it also reinforces the idea that propaganda = automatically bad.
