Vaccines have saved millions of lives you know
[a blue character points at them proudly]
Heh, look at those idiots over there, they believe in the most obvious propaganda
[the blue character is shown doing various faces]
Anyway, did you know communism killed 100 million people?
I’ve seen that 20% of the people commit 80% of the crime
Our military keeps the world a safer place
Everyone starts with opportunities, you have to earn your place in society, work harder

Crime is out of control and keeps getting worse
Men are natural leaders, women’s nature is to nurture
Billionaires create jobs
Poor people just keep making bad decisions in life
Migrants are taking our jobs
Socialism is when we all share the same paycheck
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear
If minimum wages go up, everyone will get fired, it’s math
We brought modernity to the countries we colonized
The wage gap is a myth you’re just looking at it wrong
Immigration mathematically causes crime
Developing countries are poor because of corruption
We are the good guys
If workers were worth more, they would be paid more
Universal healthcare is communism
Patriotism means supporting the troops

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA
Lots of people tackled the wage deal, but I want to talk about the 80/20 deal. That statistic is real: 80% of violent crime really is committed by 20% of the population, and a larg part of that 20 is African American males.
However, where did we GET that statistic? Conviction records. This is where the stat really breaks down, at least I believe, because we have failed to properly interpret it. Black men receive harsher sentences, receive convictions of higher natures, (first vs second degree manslaughter) are less likely to receive parole, and overall fare worse in the justice system than any other race, even when you compare against the same crimes.
Police presence is also always higher in poorer neighborhoods, and black families make a disproportionate amount of families in those neighborhoods. Arrests occur where there are police, not where there are crimes.
