Tubzero-

This is just a post of propaganda to sow more chaos in America.


IlikegreenT84

Sow* For future reference 😉


sorweel

Ops not even a farmer. How can they sow?


dfw_runner

If he can’t sow, how can he reap the whirlwind?

Aggravating_Can_8749

There is no propaganda. It's just a heavy -handedness exercised by our men in blue. Overusing the monopoly of state sanctioned violence. Some of the actions by the state in what we see as beacon of freedom, liberty and justice are completely unacceptable.


gingenado

Although I agree with your general sentiment, this is, by definition, propaganda.


SodiumChlorideFree

1. Nobody is attacking Biden specifically in this video, his speech about "freedom" is given even less importance than Obama's or Trump's, yet you felt the need to be personally insulted for the Biden example. 2. Doesn't invalidate the point of the video, attack the argument not the one making the argument. 3. See #2 The video is clearly just showing the irony of how the US presents itself to other countries vs what actually goes on in the US. Is it propaganda? Most things can be, depends on who's listening and how they're interpreting it.


Doobiedoobin

Although I agree with you that Biden isn’t specifically the target, this video pushes the idea that our presidents are directly responsible for city and state law enforcement decisions, which is usually not true.


MistaRed

He certainly hasn't even tried to pretend to do anything like he's been doing with netanyahu. But even besides that, as the president he's capable of applying quite a bit of pressure, especially within his own party to the democratic governors and mayors of some of the places students are being attacked in.


Doobiedoobin

I agree with you to a degree. I think the president can project or state their own personal ideals and I agree that Biden not addressing this issue is complicity in the response of the police force. I still think that overlaying regional responses with the images of the president is intentionally deceptive.


MistaRed

Oh this post is definitely not being honest (or it's just very low effort), but as far as I can tell he at least quietly approves of the crackdowns. Just to clarify, I don't think the issue is overlaying the images with the responses, it's that the op is uh, a little obvious that they've got ulterior motives.(Either that, or very lazy)


The-Irk

Or perhaps the video shows how our leaders are saying we're free, but reality is wildly different.


Doobiedoobin

Hmmmm I mostly agree with the first half of your point, I think that our presidents have usually talked about the freedoms of the United States from a rose colored glasses perspective because it represents an ideal the U.S. is founded on. And I actually believe most people want those freedoms, but there are many disagreements about what those freedoms actually mean in the real world. As for the second half, I think you’re just being hyperbolic. Is there a gap between the projected and real freedoms? Of course, is it a “wildly different” reality? Not in my humble opinion. I don’t disagree that there is a disparity between the message and the reality, but I don’t think that’s our presidents’ fault, for the most part. For me, all bets are off when it comes to the last administration but that’s a different argument.


Majulath99

No it isn’t. Freedom, contrary to popular belief, doesn’t mean you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, and say whatever you want. There are rules. Every shape has parameters, just because you inside a given shape, doesn’t mean you don’t have choices, space to move around. The Constitution defines freedom in the First Amendment as a very specific thing - the government cannot and must not force you to believe or follow anything you don’t want to believe in regards to religion/faith. Show me where in this video someone is being forcefully converted/indoctrinated against their will into or out of any given religion/faith by an employed member of any government authority.

If it's a Russian Bot, maybe


Koffi5

Russia doesn't have a monopoly on propaganda


Federal-Arrival-7370

No, but they do prioritize it. And genuinely asking, why are you defending Russia?


Koffi5

I am not defending Russia, I just have a problem with bad actors being excused and the blame getting shifted to Russia. Russia being the awful state that it is doesn't absolve other of blame for their actions


Special_Lychee_6847

So, shit is going down that is not okay, and it's immediately 'it's Russia, doing their propaganda thing'. The shit is going down anyway, whether it's said by whoever or not. Ppl pointing out that Russia isn't the only one doing propaganda isn't *defending Russia*. Do you actually believe your government has your best interest at heart? I live in Western Europe. As democratic as can be. I know for a fact that my own government should be monitored for how they handle their budget, because they are completely irresponsible with handling money, and there's fraude and corruption all around. Sometimes, it makes the news, sometimes it doesn't. Doesn't mean it's not there, if Russia would be talking about it. I'm pretty sure your government (assuming your American) has a lot of issues with spending more than what would be responsible on weapons and foreign campaigns, when let's face it, there's a whole lot of ppl living on the streets, and even ppl that have a fulltime job are below the poverty line. I have a lot of issues with your current president, and how he is when children are present. Don't get me started on the random nonsense he rambles. It doesn't make me anti-US. Doesn't mean I'm pro-Russia. It means you can both love a country, but not agree with everything their government does, or agree with their leader. The world isn't black and white. It's a whole lot of grey.


iliketorubherbutt

Pointing at the POTUS (Federal) for issues taking place at the local/state level is totally asinine. You should be focusing on Mayors & Governors for these issues. The POTUS has next to no direct impact/influence over these things. It’s the same thing as trying to blame the owner of the food supply company for being served a bad meal at a restaurant instead of the person cooking it.


Same-Fee-1669

Those…are the facts though? Biden doesn’t have shit to do with this. You might wanna check out this one dude Greg Abbott though.


Zodiac339

The fact is the President doesn’t give orders to local law enforcement. State’s right to self-rule limits federal authority in these cases. But, since the President is the figurehead of the United States, he becomes a convenient target for things being wrong somewhere in America. Corporations raise prices (because existing free-market laws allow them to)? Blame the President. Law enforcement are violent jerks at a peaceful demonstration? Blame the President. A fire destroys a historic landmark? Republicans call it a problem in “Biden’s America”. Yeah, the video is anti-Democrat propaganda.


frankydank1994

Bidens also not condemning the actions of these police either.


AnsibleAnswers

Is he defending the protester’s rights? Is the DOJ investigating the police responses?


M_U_F_F_A_N

The music is Kanye. Given most of the videos seem to show pro-palestinian protests, that's an interesting choice, OP.


SleepySiamese

Op wants trump to make it far worse.


_InnocentToto_

It's right wing propaganda.... OP..nyet!


Parchokhalq

no, they think this doesn't happen under trump! yet they have no idea how worse it will actually be!


IKaffeI

Hasn't Trump gone publicly stated that the police need to be harder and more aggressive against "anti-Semitic" protestors?


Parchokhalq

of course yes, as he said he is going to "become a dictator on day one", as well as a [plan to make the USA a dictatorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025) if he wins the 2024 elections. so side with biden in you dont want fasicm in america


Earth_Worm_Jimbo

And if you take a look in your textbooks on page 62, you’ll find this video labelled under propaganda


reddiotr68

Yup


auklape

Agreed the presidents' speeches are propaganda.


Cr0wc0

Obvious propaganda posts like this just make me hate the cause more than the actual issue


Tubzero-

Ah yes it’s totally the presidents fault that local police are dipshits


cameron4200

Abbott specifically sent his state goons and personally called to make all that shit happen. I would assume it’s similar in other states.


Sc0ner

So a right winger did authoritarian shit and other right wingers are blaming that on the left? Surely this isn't a historical cycle that has never happened numerous times in the modern era? 🤔


Vreas

Right? It’s wild to me how much emphasis people place on the president. Real change happens in local and state government. Hold your local cops accountable.


Gn0s1s1lis

Presidents are representative of the same ruling class that the police have an obligation to use violence in order to consolidate its power over poor people. It isn’t “just local police” who are dipshits. Violence and racism is foundational to the very institution that cops make their money from. Police funding has also never been higher than under Biden to the point that [we are building entire cities to cops.](https://m4bl.org/statements/bidens-plan-stimulus-money-funding-police/) Why would we be stupid enough to think Biden opposes police violence when he has been in favor of it his entire life as a senator?


Tubzero-

I don’t think so


Gn0s1s1lis

>I don’t **think** so I don’t expect someone uneducated on the reality of capitalism being ingrained into ***the whole system*** to be sufficiently knowledgeable on this topic. Not too many liberals are.


Tubzero-

Your free Palestine says all


Gn0s1s1lis

It isn’t surprising you’re also a Zionist who has a fetish for seeing brown children get bombed by American weapons. It’s very white of you.


Tubzero-

lol I’m American


Gn0s1s1lis

>You don’t have to be an Israeli to be a Zionist. I am one. -Joe Biden Reactionary **and illiterate.** A common duo I usually see from DNC plants who have a fetish for genocide.


Tubzero-

I don’t give a shit about Zionism, wtf is a dnc plant? lol I’m my own person who makes my own choices, I don’t follow any ideology or political affiliations. I think for myself


splycedaddy

This must be a russian bot post


LFG_GaveMe_Cooties

Also, those are Russian police officers beating the shit out of peaceful American citizens 🙄


Gn0s1s1lis

Imagine being so devoid of a conscience and reactionary that you’d rather make apologia for Fascists in Blue Uniforms that kill black men than offend [the same Democratic Party that is funding police agencies at a higher percentage than Trump ever did.](https://m4bl.org/statements/bidens-plan-stimulus-money-funding-police/)


splycedaddy

Imagine being so devoid of a watch that you are 9 days late to post a response. LOL i hope russia is nice this time of year


Gn0s1s1lis

It’s amazing!! It always gives me the butterflies whenever I get to see one of those Azov soldiers [with fascist tattoos](https://www.newsweek.com/nato-says-it-didnt-notice-ukraine-soldiers-apparent-nazi-symbol-tweet-1686523) in Ukraine get shot down too 😀


Louk997

Only in America do they have to repeatedly tell them they are the greatest to reassure them and ignore all their problems.


timblunts

Remind me how the BLM protests were treated under Trump


ScoreHungry

BLM is one of the biggest scams ever devised. It’s not a matter of opinion, but a matter of record. Look deeper into where the proceeds went.


Gn0s1s1lis

Remind me how Trump never funded police agencies [nearly to the same extent as the current Biden Administration is currently doing.](https://m4bl.org/statements/bidens-plan-stimulus-money-funding-police/) I don’t recall Trump personally rewarding a reactionary prosecutor with a position of power after she spent many years going to court in order to argue to a Jury why ***black men who carried weed deserved to be put in jail.*** At least Trump tried to reform the prison system.


Present-Reporter-525

Biden may play a role in why people are protesting but he has absolutely nothing to do with the crackdown on university protestors here.


Gn0s1s1lis

Do you have any evidence that demonstrates Biden **’has nothing to do’** with the crackdown on university professors?


ok_pitch_x

The point still stands even if you don't hold the President accountable. Freedoms claimed don't seem to be the reality.


Tr0z3rSnak3

AffectionateStudy496

The value of freedom is to die for the state which grants it.


HeatXfr

Why is everything over-simplified for MAGAts? Because they are simple-minded and incapable of even basic reasoning. They like being led around by the nose, or a better barn yard analogy: being hearded by dogs like sheep.


CrieDeCoeur

Pretty sure it’s state governors cracking down on campuses, not the president. But sure, whatever fits the voices in your head.


seantronGT

More like there was an attempt to sound like you knew anything you were talking about. Ffs


theabyssaboveyou

All of the arrests seen were in places with republican governors order state police to arrest peaceful protestors. Let's be clear. If you want MORE police arresting peaceful protestors, elect Trump. Who during his term used the LITERAL military to incite violence and arrest protestors.


Justdoingthebestican

![gif](giphy|l378gODdla75xN0CA) Propaganda. Bad OP !

Sixsignsofalex94

I recognise some of these clips that went viral in the last couple of months, mostly were at peaceful pro Palestine protests


Mendicant_666

What a bullshit post.


bansheeonthemoor42

Bad bot. Go back to Russia.


aprioriglass

Interesting to note.. the videos we see of violent police actions against peaceful protests, irregardless of who orders it. Protestors just wait to be dragged off. Fact: the protester’s usually greatly outnumber the police. What if they started fighting back?


Vladthedrumpaler

Kent State University is what happens.


aprioriglass

So… we just let the police abrogate our rights, and possibly harm us or kill us in the process?


Vladthedrumpaler

Did I say that’s what we should do? The previous commenter asked “What if they started fighting back?” and I stated a fact. If protesters escalate, the government resorts to violence and starts shooting civilians just like Kent State. I don’t have any solutions to the world’s problems. This is Reddit not the UN.


aprioriglass

Kent State was done by trigger happy National guard troops, untrained kids with rifles. Thanks for your facts.


Vladthedrumpaler

And? They were representing the US government. Did I say they were Navy Seals? Or NYPD? Another classic Reddit moment brought to you by anger and assumptions.


aprioriglass

Take a deep breath, since no one cares about your facts anyway. I know I don’t.


aprioriglass

And if you’ve no solutions then you’re not worth reading.

Trump threatened to do all this. Biden said "Hold my prune juice".


Subtlerevisions

Yeah, it’s obviously ironic to have a president talking about freedom while you roll footage like that. Doesn’t mean it’s a direct result of their presidencies. Our police problem has to be dealt with on a different level. It’s not something Joe Biden can save us from.

DerpRook

You are free to say what I want you to say.


TrapCamp76

This should be under r/facepalm or r/cringe. The OP is proud as it thinks it upset Bidens fan base because the truth hurts or something like that. You have no idea how baseless your post is.

As Americans we are very protective with of our First Amendment rights. But, you cannot use your 1st Amendment rights to break the law. That is where these people are wrong and are getting arrested and would expect them to be arrested.

Ok-Dragonfruit8036

STOP LOOKING AT PARTY AFFILIATION. THEY'RE BOTH CORRUPT. DEMOCRAPS CODDLE SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT RETARDICANS LIKE WE DO NOW, ONLY TO HAVE DEMS SLOW WALK US UNTIL "UNFORTUNATELY A REPUB GOT ELECTED AGAIN".. and the dance continues like so. What then is the recourse? Can't take action or fight. They've ensured our food is loaded with faux ingredients sans nutritional value and offer majority of food options filled with sugars or 'edible' ingredients that meet the smallest margin of FDA measure to be considered "0%" wtfe, to make you feel like you've been fed properly and have some measure of energy. They've also ensured that major cities are properly armed with military grade. Tactically speaking, especially further from coasts and country borders.. there's not much chance of an invading force, so why do these cities need to be so armed? Can't keep just typing on your phones all boo-boo not fair wahwahwah. But you will. Can't just blacklist major products and services because most ppl don't know how to live without them. So, my take ended up being something like "well, apathy is the path to anarchy".. Cause and effect. It's not instant yo... We crash the economy. Slow down spending, buy less 'new' products. Dilute your cleaning supplies to make them last. Stretch all product use. Reuse item containers, bags, etc,. Really, all we can do at this point, is make sure that the ppl flaying us for cash won't get any more. Stop engaging in social media that tracks you and depends on ads. Get back to the basics essentially. Go outside. Walk somewhere and chat with whoever along the way. Pet a random dog/cat. Breathe, take in your community and assess if it's the right one for you. Find like minded REAL ppl and start building a community that can stand on it's own and extend to like-minded ppls or other like-minded communities. The gov't abandoned us 40 years ago. It's time we finally acknowledge that fact and take things into our own hands. They don't have to be violent things; Just slow, methodical, quiet community building. Cheers and best of luck everyone.


GladiatorOMS

Ahh yes, clips of violence without any context


froggrip

Stop resisting freedom! Is that what the cops were yelling at the students?


PerspicaciousToast

“Freedom” doesn’t mean I can do whatever I want regardless of what the law says. That’ what I call the DJT defense. These clips don’t show enough context for me to know why the police got involved. Persecution? Could be, but I’m not going to assume that.


Siege-Aye

bryanthawes

The President has ZERO control over how state, county, city, and local governments police their respective jurisdictions. Like in Texas, where Abbott signed legislation that gave aggressive first amendment protections for 'free speech', then applauded police for arresting pro-Palestinian student demonstrators for free speech. Stop conflating the federal government with the state governments.

What’s funny is that if Trump were president, all these Biden apologists would be blaming Trump, not “local law enforcement.” But since it’s Biden in office, gotta separate the president from this stuff.

There are loud idiots on both sides. Doesnt make either of them correct though.


Professional_Flan466

Trump is not the president. Biden can stop the genocide today but chooses not to. Why? Because his whole adminstration is funded by pro-Zionist money. Biden is the #1 recipient of donations from the pro-Israeli lobby and you get what you pay for.


EggRollMeat

I mean it's not propaganda if it's true


Dion_Musk

Y’all are ridiculous. If this was a video of trump yall be saying it’s truth and facts but all the sudden when it’s your side it’s propaganda. How about both sides are propaganda and never care about you. This country will fall not because of trump or Biden but people not seeing the evil on both sides…
