cars posted:tThe propaganda used to support a domestic political story becomes the sort of absolute language meant to exploit the nigh-invincible ignorance about foreign politics presumed by the news press of its domestic reader. It’s moderate rebels, “pro-democracy” heroes, vs. villainous tyrants and zealous radicals that are truly alien in psychology, creatures that, reassuringly, could never truly be “American”. That isn’t new, but it’s the persistence of it into 2021 that’s of interest here, when it could very easily have been abandoned within hours of the new guy taking office, or even before then. Because, again, it doesn’t make a ton of sense on its face anymore.
...
I wonder how stable this sort of domestic propaganda structure will be when competing with the familiarity of the supposed threat, if it can really last against the return of the previous bourgeois-partisan play-by-play
Reading the above post made me think of how - other than the few occasions where the outline of the story is “brave cia/mossad hackers stop Iran from developing nukes” - there is essentially no coverage of comparable events happening outside the US in US media.
Which is why the FBI says that, before the 6th, they warned off the leader of the biggest brownshirt movement in the U.S. from going to Washington on that specific day. You know, the guy who, for years before that, was one of the FBI's biggest informants on multiple criminal operations. But uh don't worry he was at a hotel somewhere "100 miles away". Or haha like, maybe he's one of the unnamed co-conspirators in the case against his brownshirts. One of them was at a hotel on the 6th, like FBI Informant Brownshirt President says he was. Also the court documents say that particular unnamed co-conspirator is the one who actually organized the "armed group" that got arrested and charged. Who knows! Complicated stuff haha!!
The Capitol Police, bless their hearts, say that the Pipe Bomb Mystery Bigfoot must have had extremely detailed knowledge of Washington D.C. and where all the cameras were on the streets with RNC and DNC national headquarters, which is why it's so hard to track down the Loch Ness monster I mean suspect. wow. whoa,

If a man isn't in control how can he be held responsible

edit: I was thinking too small.
