clearly it’s effective propaganda actually
Any show that portrays the police as good is propaganda. Any show that portrays the FBI or CIA as good organizations is propaganda. Any show that depicts the military as good is propaganda.
It’s only propoganda if you are really dense, B99 actually frequently hits you over the head with howuch the other cops suck, and how the 99 is a beacon of actually law enforcement as opposed to lazy selfish violent and corrupt policing, hell even the 99 has a hitchcock. Yall need to grow up and learn the police are supposed to be a force for good, that is why the corrupt institution which they exist as today is even more concerning, any post bashing all law enforcement is anarchist propoganda.
“b99 isn’t propaganda”
“the police are supposed to be a force for good”
propaganda working exactly as planned I see
yall its a funny show at a glance but its obviously 100% propaganda lmao, lmfao just because they had three instances of them merely mentioning fucked up shit real police do, and then rolling their eyes like “oh we would never do that we have to fix the system” lmao like if u dont think someone at the pentagon has their fingers in this show manipulating the script you’re tripping
Portrayal of cops and military as anything other than tools for social control and imperialist domination for more wealth and power for the wealthy and powerful is propaganda lol
Level one police propaganda: Cops are good! All cops are good! Cops can never do wrong! They always go into law enforcement to better humanity and protect the community (CSI, Law and Order)
Level two police propaganda: Cops are sometimes bad but they’re misunderstood, most of the time they try to do the right thing but it’s hard! And the press is always there, trying to make their jobs difficult! (Luther)
[Level three cop propaganda: The police is corrupt, but only inasmuch as the whole of our society is corrupt. There is some form of homogeneity between police and crime, as opposed to a clear imbalance of power (The Wire?) – This is the nihilistic edition]
level four cop propaganda: there are many corrupt or bigoted cops, but also a lot of good cops! The problem with police is that the wrong kind of people are cops. If we weed out the bad ones, or educate them, then police could function as it’s supposed to: to catch bad guys and keep justice! (B99)
Yup, and around 1.5 there’s the historical cop shows that go ‘cops were bad once but they’re good now and while they were bad they were also kinda cool and we sort of miss those days, watch this cop punch a suspect’ (Life on Mars).
