The “propaganda” as you call it is called satire, and it’s actually the entire point of the film.

Propaganda != opinion that you disagree with

As it turns out, satire is a tool often used for propaganda.

And I didn't say I disagree with the point they wanted to make. It just seems like a point made so poorly it was painful to watch.
