Weren’t the Police Supposed to Be Defunded or Something?
by Peter R. Quiñones | Nov 2, 2021 | Peter Quinones
What should’ve been an obvious propaganda campaign/slogan to most, didn’t even turn into the conversation libertarians would’ve wanted to have: if you’re going to defund the police, or even replace them, what are you replacing them with? The overwhelming majority of...
Never Forget the Propaganda: New 9/11 Documentaries Reinforce Old Narratives
