Propaganda targets "friends"?

[Barleyman]

It seems to me they the constant propaganda spam you get seems to come mostly from factions which have okay relations (tolerance) with you? It seems that "war" curtails this but when I wasted a lot of resources to make nice with Academy, they responded by spamming propaganda on EU/US.

This could be of course just 2nd order effect of targeting enemies agents to defang them but this academy play was distinct. Maybe just the influence I donated? I noticed Initiative doing the same thing when I boosted relations from Conflict to Tolerance as well.

Anyways, shouldn't "tolerance" curtail such behaviour, it being fairly aggressive move?

Hmh. Actually according to this table, propaganda doesn't generate any hate: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 6B3A5E9C2/

That would explain why your "friends" are constantly spamming propaganda, if they think it's "okay".

Much better guide on hate, if somewhat obsolete.

It'd be really nice if there was a "Guides" page on the wiki to collect this kind of links. Or if it was possible to add pages.

Nope.
Tolerance means just that - they will not get aggressive, so will not (in theory) steal your stuff, capture or kill your councillors or declare war on you.
You need a non-aggression pact - and even then they can still use propaganda
