When watching most shows, movies, whatever from the West, I feel like I’m slamming my head against a wall. There are a few exceptions that are at least better, but seriously. My head hurts because of how mad I am at blatant copaganda. The show was even portraying police in a negative light, but my sometimes-leftist sibling and bootlicker dad were spouting the copaganda. Sibling seems to think the law applies to cops, and Dad can hardly comprehend the US did things like genocide or police brutality. Sure Jim Crow wasn’t that bad, right?? Ugh. And Law and Order SVU trying to pretend law enforcement and ICE aren’t buddy-buddy. Or that those are bad cops, but we’re the good guys. Tell that to your dude who just beat up a man with schizophrenia to get him to confess to a crime he didn’t do, and you just went “Oops. Wrong suspect.”
The amount of people who seem to consider themselves Soviet history experts because they watched the ‘Chernobyl’ series (or “Enemy at the Gates”, “The Death of Stalin”) is a huge bugbear of mine.
Slap ‘based on a true story’ on anything and people seem to believe their complete nonsense slop is a found-footage documentary. I’m sick of telling so many people people that their favourite fictional “historical” drama (or indeed, even comedy) contains basically zero facts.
No there wasn’t one gun per two fucking people in Soviet WW2, no everyone wasn’t sleeping on fucking burgers on a control panel and aaaaaaa every ‘fact’ of yours is wrong just stop it
The Soviet Union was so evil, they sent soldiers in battle with one tank per four people!
