  • JCS criminal psychology is 100% copaganda. It presents cop interrogation techniques as a kind of science, as if the Reid technique wasn’t all about deliberately misunderstanding body language and coercing innocent people to confess.

    Skip Intro has a good series on Copaganda. Talks about TV shows/fiction, but a lot of the messaging is the same.

    Cops exist to protect property, not you.

    If you want a good non-copaganda documentary though, Errol Morris’s The Thin Blue Line is a worthwhile classic.

  • Our state is captured by the oil and gas industry.

    The FBI was literally invented because the bombings/murder of Osage Indians to get oil rights was being covered up by state politicians and police.

    The OERB funds a ton of science education, and they do not want you taking about climate change. They are required by the state to contribute to education, so they do this buy running fancy workshops where they give supplies to educators (like, I got thousands in dollars worth of chemistry equipment - this is a big deal when my supply closet had baking soda that would have been expired when my dad was in high school…) They teach you there that fracking doesn’t cause earthquakes, that the warming climate can be explained by Milkanovitch cycles, etc etc.

    Oklahomans aren’t given the education the need to not fall for this shit, and it’s on purpose. I would not be surprised if the oil/gas industry was involved in spreading the weather weapons conspiracy. Oklahoma has always been a playground for wealthy oilmen.

  • Oklahoman’s GOP platform has literal conspiracy theory shit in it.

    Any nutter with an “R” next to their name can win whatever position they want. It’s straight ticket Republican, no matter what.

    Everyone hated Mary Fallon, but they still voted for Kevin Stitt.

  • The infanticide was historically accurate - although probably at a scale less than the movie implies. But it is in sources.

    But yeah - the way that the film portrays the treatment of disabled people is especially gross. Pay attention to who is in the court of Xerxes - the acceptance of disabled bodies is presented as akin to the sort of “decadence” of these evil Persians. (If a necromancer brought Edward Said back to life to watch 300, it would probably kill him again.)

    The movie is basically a Triumph of the Will for Spartans and torture for anyone who’s actually researched Greek history (Leonidus calling the Athenians “boy lovers” is teeth gritting, part of a Spartan education was getting fucked by older men…)

  • Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married.
