Anything intended to persuade or induce a change in position is propaganda; if we decide to limit the field somewhat by eliminating statement about objective facts, then anything that attempts to affect people's subjective opinions still count. And since it's not uncommon for people to present subjective judgments and perceptions as if they represented objective truths, that narrowing of the concept is still perilous.

'Propaganda' is a very inclusive category. Like 'story' or 'text' or 'media'. That's the point.

Does anyone have any problems with this?
Then by your definition ever single work of fiction is propaganda, since they all have a message and try to change a position whether they intent to or not.

Objectivity isn't important because of subjectivity, subjectivity just describes emotional processing. Subjectivity is only the reason why one person may care. Objectivity is the reason why multiple people care as it outlines justice through logic.
You know what they say between a debate and an argument?
Are you asking me what people tend to say in the moments both before an informal argument and after a formal debate takes place?

Sure why not. You can make it complicated it you want.
I got nothing to say here.
