Seeing a child trying to gather the pieces of his mother after getting shredded by an Apache gunship undermines government propaganda. If something makes you realize you're probably not always the good guy bringing democracy then that something is quite dangerous and it should be removed.



> that something is quite dangerous and it should be removed

You really took a left turn at the end there and I’m not sure if you were serious. Poe’s law in full effect, I’d argue the opposite. If something true challenges your narrative the only intellectually honest thing to do is embrace it.


I'm merely explaining how it got to the current situation from my own point of view. There is no money in showing the real consequences of people's actions. People pay to be coddled and have their biases confirmed. Without any money you cannot maintain a considerable online presence (especially content hosting).
