I’m not so sure—propaganda can be both ethical and useful. The question is, can groups be ethical at the scale of government? If it’s about spreading information about freedom of speech, evading censorship, etc, it’s hard to see how this could hurt humanity. If it’s spreading “freedom”, that seems to be a dogwhistle for protecting domains of influence—pure imperialism. I mean, i think it comes down to whether or not you can sleep at night knowing what you’re doing. Much of the “voice of america” actions of the last century do not pass this sleep test.
