My understanding of propaganda doesn’t require the information to necessarily be misleading (don’t get me wrong, blatant propaganda frequently is), just presented with an intention to promote a certain group’s interests. I can see where the contention comes from, and I’m sure we could both have a lengthy discussion about it, but I don’t think it’s really the time or place, and it sounds like we aren’t too far off from understanding one another anyways. Hope you have a good day/night wherever you are!
Also, publicity is a big factor. You pretty much guarantee some degree of media coverage when you do something like shut down a busy highway. I don’t think people consider often enough how important even negative press is in spreading the message.
