    i mean we have a city nearby where everyone warns everyone else “don’t go to [city], you’ll get shot”. white people warn white people because they’re terrified of gang violence that hasn’t existed since the 1990s. everyone else warns each other because the local PD will shoot you if you’re not white (they shoot and kill at least 10 unarmed citizens a year, not sure how many unarmed people they only shoot) and they don’t respond to your emergency calls unless you’re related to someone in the PD.

    i guess my point is that even subcultures have their own propaganda.
