Get this. I'm not a US citizen. And I live in Japan. Wife is Japanese. As usual, they're broadcasting the lies CNN feeds them. He was unarmed. There were kids in the car. He was shot 7 times in the back for no reason. They broadcast the interview with his fiancee repeating the same lies. And my wife is watching this shit. And she swallows it all and then some more. And I'm sitting there fuming, because I know these are all lies. And at one point l, I can't take it anymore. I just go "these are all lies. They are not reporting the truth. This man is a felon. He was fleeing police. He was fighting them a few seconds before. He's a criminal. He once raped a 14 year old and.."
And that's when she just said "もう黙って、うるさい", Which can be translated as "you're annoying ,just shut the fuck up".
Man, I really hate the media. All the media. No exception. They are driving their fucking wedge everywhere. They are the source of ALL chaos and lawlessness and disorder everywhere. I hate them with a passion.
My experience with the Japanese is that they want to be agreeable at almost any cost. So if the media is portraying one narrative most all Japanese will go along with what they consider the group census. There was a good book a read back in college when I took a few years of Japanese called The Anatomy of Dependence.
