Abstract: One of the inherent problems with Propaganda Studies is that it is inherently totalizing and polarizing-and without either side necessarily having a technical specialism. One wing of it is pro-Western, pro-establishment, the other anti; and with this as a starting point we are all pushed and pulled into taking binary positions on various issues-wars, vaccines, climate, etc. Even where propaganda is taught, it is often historicized (Nazi Germany, Soviet Union). Contemporary, structural critiques-particularly those that target “our” side-remain rare and largely unwelcome.
