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.

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.)"

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.

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.

I don't think that is what people mean

(Anonymous) 2023-12-20 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
