propagandism
Ideology through messaging
Propagandism is the practice or advocacy of spreading propaganda—information designed to promote a particular viewpoint or cause, often through biased or misleading means.
The term carries a critical edge, suggesting systematic efforts to shape public opinion rather than inform it.
Someone engaged in propagandism is a propagandist.
The regime's propagandism extended to every corner of public life.
