A set of ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately in order to further one’s cause, or to damage an opposing cause with the intention of supporting a particular movement, political party, nation, institution, or set of ideals such as those upheld by a specific religion. Along with misinformation and fake news, propaganda has the power to polarise public opinion and create societal divide. Propaganda is spread with a specific goal or set of goals, achieved by selecting facts, arguments, and displays of symbols and signs, presenting them in ways the propagandist believes will have the most effect. To maximise effect, the propagandist will often distort truth and spread misinformation, omitting facts and manipulating reactors into supporting their cause. The spread of propaganda has become increasingly accessible thanks to the widespread availability of the internet and social media, particularly helpful in disseminating favouritism for certain political movements.
