    That sounds identical to US media though? Videos of armed robbery are also very popular, I see it everytime I happen to watch the local news.

      True but US media is reactionary and does it because they want more cops and crackdowns. They do it because the USA sux

        It's funny because even as a kid I would watch the news and think "lol USA sux", when given the right rebellious priming as a youth their propaganda has the opposite effect.

          Same here even as a kid I thought it was odd that they only talked about American deaths in wars, etc. Kids have a great bs filter though, it's stamped out through our propaganda education system

            I was super fortunate to have good teachers and parents, like my mom would complain about biased curriculum and say "Don't let school get in the way of your education." I thought it was genius and that she came up with it but I learned much later it's a Mark Twain quote lol.

        I'm going to start a new US news channel that just shows the same broadcast as another but over it I say "You all deserve this. Death to Amerikkka." (Subtitles always shown so you know I'm saying 'Amerikkka' and not 'America')

          Eugene put in a lot more effort than that, I probably should have linked the video.
