Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Prime minister and Supreme leader are literally synonyms yet have such wildly different implications.
Propaganda vs Public Relation Campaigns
From what I understand, Chinese use the same word for both.
Used to be that way in English.
Edward Bernays, the original corporate propagandist/father of modern PR, used to work with companies when they were still called "propaganda departments" instead of "PR Departments". His book is even called "Propaganda"
That's aptly fitting. Apple's ~~spin doctors~~ propaganda team is top-notch
He's also the guy who invented bacon and eggs for breakfast, and was behind the advertising campaign that ingrained diamonds as a part of the go-to engagement/wedding ring.
Interesting historical figure.
