Literally anything that causes an idea to spread is propaganda. Advertising, calls for help, gossip, commentary, analysis, storytelling, hell public art or theater or even just public conflict. That's what the word means, the means of idea propagation.

Absolutely, that's my point.

So calling anything propaganda is pointless, because everything is propaganda.

Exactly. And saying this meme is counter-propaganda is pointless, since it itself is propaganda.

Ok, sure. It's exactly as propaganda as anything else
