you would have to get people on board with the idea that everything is propaganda
In a way that is actually true. Even the pretense of "this is objective news presented objectively" is a propaganda statement.
Arrogant statements that no one could be fooled by something or have it influence their behavior are a personal internalized triumph of "I got mine" Burgerland exceptionalist propaganda which influences the individual to dismiss the possibility or risk of other people being influenced by propaganda as impossible, beneath their notice, or even just desserts for the unworthy.
Propaganda doesn't have to be false (often the most effective propaganda is a deliberately presented truth) or even have to be bad. What is AgitProp but propaganda, after all?
