Yeah, but the insidious nature of propaganda has probably made you feel a little more sympathetic to them and likelier to oppose anything that hurts them in any way. You're gonna be a little more Laura Norder aligned than you would be before.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, no. When a cop fucks up in real life, I'm all for real consequences. It rarely happens so it's great to see.

A reminder that just because you might feel sympathy for someone else doesn't mean you condone their actions or are incapable of separating fiction from real life.

NAYRT
Ahahahaha lol no.
Maybe propaganda affects my belief that there should be some system in place. But somehow it's difficult to be in any way sympathetic to RL cops if they are fucking shit

[(Anonymous)]

Skill issue

[(Anonymous)]

What propaganda is influencung you, anon?

[(Anonymous)]

People are going to knee jerk because they hate to acknowledge the subconcious at play, but yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the subconscious has a role but not this exact role

[(Anonymous)]

"You are not immune to propaganda... only I am."

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, I'm sure some people are. But there ARE also people who have watched cop shows, or who watch some of them now, who ALSO put in the work to say, like... what does Law and Order want me to feel about cops, why do only bad guys ever ask for a lawyer, etc.

It's not that I think I'm special and immune to propaganda-- the fact that I know I'm not is why I try to view things critically. Sometimes I watch procedurals (there are a ton of them and I don't always control the remote in my house, though there are ones I find watchable and ones I find unwatchable in terms of just how heavily they lean into copaganda). In real life, I fully hate cops. I have loved ones who are uncritical viewers, I have loved ones who are VERY critical viewers, I think most people I know probably fall somewhere in the middle.

[(Anonymous)]

But when people say "You're not immune to propaganda," what they mean is "There's a chance you'll fall for propaganda even if you do your best to view things critically, so you shouldn't view them at all. (But I can view them, because I'm immune.)"

[(Anonymous)]

I don't view them, because I know I am not immune. The best I can do is try my best to be aware of when a show or genre has an agenda and an influence, and try to avoid it. And I don't think you should view them either.

[(Anonymous)]

But there really isn't anything that doesn't have an agenda or an influence.

The way to contend with propaganda isn't to avoid it entirely; it's to view media with a critical eye. And if there's an idea that you're afraid to be exposed to, then I would make the case that that's an indication your current set of views aren't as solid as you think they are.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that is what people mean

[(Anonymous)]

Some might. Others might just mean they also feel they can't handle propaganda so they don't watch it, therefore no one else should watch it.
