I have seen so much hate crimes in the news but is it true ? Or just media propaganda?

To toss it out there you may want to look up the word "propaganda." It might help you use it more appropriately in the future. Sensationalism and propaganda are two very different things. But yeah. I think a lot of people feel they now have a license to hate.

It is an outcome of a political cause is it? Or is it still wrong to say propaganda?
Ynotisay · M
@Room66: Propaganda is a purposeful attempt, typically by a government, to influence. There are varying degrees though. Some may say FOX is a propaganda arm of the GOP. Given my work I'll say that it's almost always sensationalism that drives certain news decisions. It just feel like propaganda because they're creating a narrative.

not propaganda, people were already fucking racist and full of hatred now they have the freedom to portray their filthy existence

I have heard from a number of my black co-workers (all professional folks) how they have been approached and either a racial slur or comment about "being sent back" was provided.

Sad, very sad. We can not go backwards as a society.

The Hate crimes are coming from the Left. Once the temper tantrums of the criminally immature stop, the crimes will stop and life will go back to normal.

I am not sure if crimes are coming only from the left side... 🤔

@Loretta78: Well stuff like this has nothing to do with Trump, Republicans or Conservatives. This is just mentally unbalanced people acting out.

Almost certainly, although police confirmations for the little things are hard to get and it's been a pretty chatoci couple of days. The same thing happened under Brexit. The racists were already there, and many of them now believe they've 'won' and can start chasing out the brown people.

I don't know. But I think half of it are actual hate crimes and the other half is media propaganda.

@Fernie: Yes, I know that it's happening for real. However, I feel that the other half is based on media propaganda trying to put more fuel to the fire.

I hope it doesn't end with casualties
