Greg, I'm in the camp of those who believe that there is a difference between advocacy and propaganda. I'd argue that advocacy is merely promotion, but that propaganda is intentional misrepresentation/mischaracterization.
They don't apply as well to many conspiracy theories though, such as Holocaust Denialism, CIA involvement in the JFK murder, Princess Diana's death, PizzaGate, Area 51, Illuminati-control, Shakespeare never living, and Lewis Carroll being Jack the Ripper.
The bulk of those conspiracies do not center around science, like COVID policy was claimed to do.
You're too kind, given the history, a public hanging would be a proper end for theses godless psychopaths. A needle is more deadly than all the atomic bombs. I might seem a little harsh, but it's too late NOT TO SPEAK UP! BYE a clue or go to hell, it's pretty simple.
Tom a class on advocacy a decade ago. “Personalization of issues” was a form of advocacy, AKA propaganda.

These six points also describe conspiracy theories rather well.
