I think that when trying to determine what is propaganda, all else being equal, a good rule of thumb is that the messaging in support of the prevailing system is more likely to be propaganda than the messaging against it. This is due to the simple fact that the prevailing system (in this case growth focus / capitalism) has all societal institutions built to support it.

Hard disagree. Just because people reached a consensus on something doesn't then mean talking about that something is propaganda. Is all talk about modern medicine propaganda? All talk/technology that uses AC electrics over DC? In the modern world it seems like EVERY discussion is 'why XYZ is wrong' and there is zero defense/explanation of how/why we reached/settled on XYZ (current norms) in those discussion, just attempts to discredit xyz/norms.
