You could make a selective documentary about anything and make it seem common place or even excessive - like Climate Change, the Holocaust, how the military is noble, or that Hollywood is good.

Whataboutism.

Sure it's whataboutism. But in this case I'm not wrong. You can justify almost anything in media. In the Avengers movies Thanos was a compelling character not because he wanted to wipe out half the lives in the Universe (then all of them to start over) - but because he had justifiable (in his mind) reasons to. It doesn't make him correct, but it is a compelling argument.

What ever region on Earth you live in can be photographed by professionals that can make it look like the best place in the world to visit (ie. tourism commercials, business opportunities, etc) or the scummiest place to avoid (ie. public service announcements about the environment or crime or poverty, etc). That's a fact jack.

All documentaries are essays with a specific viewpoint. Neutrality is a myth. That's what it's all aboutism.

It's cute how how say obvious things and still think your smart. Maybe you should get out more. Stop squatting in your mommas basement.

I'm going to block you, I do not support power hungry Jesuits.

ZioCOn = Zionist. Useless_aether, thinks I'm a Jesuit even though I'm a normal person who works everyday and has no affiliations with Jesuits. Useless thinks Jesuits control everyone who disagrees with him. And only recently started to attack me when I brought up Palestinian plight.

Somewhat I guess - but only because I can do math and don't like the idea of genocide.

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (31 children)

Nobody does, and nobody lieks Likudniks ethnically cleansing the Palestinians, do you?

[–]sproketboy[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (30 children)

The Likudniks aren't doing a great job since there are a ton of them left. They should use your oven approach.

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (29 children)

Hi Hasbara. Why do you want to genocide Jews, sort of genocidal, isn't of you? I want Likudniks out of US politicals as well as dual-Israelis.

use your oven approach

Wth, are you talking about?
