the person you responded too didn't mention anything about twitter and you seem to be chasing straw men.

Wait, Am I banned or the other person? I'm confused by the wording and context. You replied to me, but warned them in another comment.

Also I don't think I've ever been warned before.

funny how you didn't call out the OP and ask them for "some additional arguments backing" up their claim that the Iranian TV show was propaganda, but here you do when its American politicians.

Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

as for context, a good book on the subject is "manufacturing consent" by Noam Chomsky. In it he details how american media of all forms is used as a propaganda vehicle in order to shape and create the american public's politics.

The TV shows linked are just applications of that strategy.

and you're assuming it was legal, based on... what? Why assume the best rather than the more realistic assumption?

coca-cola is still going strong. so is BNSF railway. so is McDonalds.

There is nothing on their post that implies age or student status, unless you think staying with your parents is something that only college students do and is not possible after graduation.

That's not a problem with escalators, that's a problem with your liability laws and regulations.

it is entirely possible that you have been radicalized from a normal moderate folk to a "crazy libtard" by watching whatever channels you watch, and, i suspect, this is a broadly true statement amongst a very large swatch of the millenial generation.

(note: using "crazy libtard" here not as a personal insult, but because it is the right's version of "crazy consipiracy people").

anyways, take the speck out of your own eye before complaining about the beams in your parents eyes.
