Most people are shallow and artless. They’re not even well informed or educated enough to be apathetic. Apathy implies knowing the pot is boiling and deciding not to get out of it. They don’t even know the pot is boiling.
I work with a lot of Indians. They have been shocked recently by the arrest of some of their American born children by ICE. The children were thankfully returned but after talking to them I discovered they had no clue that the US is currently engaged in ethnic cleansing of non whites. And these are all people with masters degrees at least.

I would honestly say it’s more Apathy than Propaganda.
Most people simply don’t think they can do anything, that it wastes their time, and therefore just tune it out and try to pretend it doesn’t exist.

No. Apathy suggests people are aware enough the propaganda exists.
