The term "propaganda" is quite nebulous. Anything with a political message can basically be described as propaganda... and yeah, I don't think trying to promote an idea in a catchy, snappy way is necessarily bad.

"I chatgpt'd some things"

Nobody wants to read the wall of slop you copy-pasted from an LLM

Just because it's low compared to other CEOs doesn't make it reasonable and justified. Also, Wikipedia isn't a "high-profile firm". It's (at least supposed to be) a non-profit that takes donations to keep the site running and free.

That seems like a completely nihilistic and empty view of politics. What do you even actually think a society that isn't "corrupt" (or at least is less corrupt) could look like? How can you blame the people with no power at all just as much as the president?

Blaming everyone for everything is basically the same as blaming nobody for anything.

It's fine to think that the vast majority of people believe in propaganda or are worried about things that don't matter.

My main problem really is with you saying "any talk of politics is pointless". It's just complete doomerism.
