    Man I've been looking for shows to watch and I totally forgot about Reno 911. Thank you. Going to give that a rewatch.

    That's okay as long as you constantly shout ACAB at the screen and don't enjoy it

    yes, genuinely. California Highway Patrol didn't collaborate with the producers for nothing

    Can I still enjoy the cheesy theme song?

    you can enjoy the whole show as you so desire. avoiding problematic media has never really done anything to shift the narratives. what has has providing context to people who consume this media uncritically and recommending them better media to take on alongside the problem media. the world needs people who can look at chips and see and explain the problems with it. if the people who can don't, that will only leave the people the copaganda works on locked into a media bubble unaware of the problems. so watch and love chips. but read and love Mutual Aid by Dean Spade, too. and always know that any broadcast you watch you are recieving two messages. there's the message the creators of broadcaster wanted you to receive and the one the equipment operators (usually advertisers and politicians) wanted you to receive. try to find both and identify which is which, and then discuss with other people watching the thing which they identify with and why

    The show COPS is propaganda but it had the opposite effect on me and had me sympathetic towards the victims; cheering them on when they obviously got away with having narcotics on them or hoping they escape the chuds.
