All communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, yes.

There's also debate and ego-less teaching for the sake of truth-seeking.

Well, since nobody is ego-less, no truth is universally accepted, and debate is a means to pursue an agenda, what are we left with?

For the sake of truth seeking you will selectively teach information that your ego deems true.

How would you define it?

calgoo|9 days ago

I mean, in a way, all communication is propaganda. Its one person or group trying to influence you with their information.

I don't think so. I strive to lay the facts out neutrally so people can decide what to do with that information, even if the outcome is not ideal for me.

Preventing non-ideal outcomes is not about lying, but not doing things you might regret in the future.

This is why I'm no politician, though.
