All of those things have actual motive. Moreover, I believe there are two types of conspiracies:
Where things are set in motion and loosely guided by those in power. But a crucial part of propaganda is the general public accepting it and spreading it in their own forms. Not everyone who spreads propaganda is "in on it." The vast majority aren't.
Where something happens, and then those in power control the narrative around it. We see this a lot, for example, with shootings. I don't believe many shootings are explicitly staged. It's far easier to wait for a shootings to happen, then broadcast the ones that fit your narrative and suppress the ones that don't.
