What was the point of these propaganda videos, do you think?
I'll put my thoughts into the thread. https://twitter.com/DVATW/status/1264521588201926656
2) It's safe to say that the videos were coordinated, pushed to go viral, and were certainly propaganda (not organic). Whether these are actors, instead of real medical professionals- I don't know. Maybe in some cases it was faked entirely. That part doesn't matter, as in any
3) profession, you'll find willing parties to an agenda, and that doesn't necessarily reflect on the opinions and ethics of the profession as a whole. Finding small dance groups who are willing to be disrespectful to the world during a crisis, is relatively easy, not indicative
4) of a wide-scale issue of callousness, mockery, and disregard for human life. We could call this "tone deafness", but it wouldn't be accurate. There were too many of these videos to dismiss. Someone would have had one iota of social awareness among them. No, it was intentional-
5) But why? Possibilities:
A. They thought a casual fun, bold, irreverent, current marketing blitz showed them off as "heroes", propping nurses up much the same way they've done with the creepy exploited climate girl who they don't seem to realize repulses most sane people.
6) B. They thought the garish mockery would stick a salty finger into the collective wounds of the peasantry, inciting civil disobedience, unrest... triggering the excuse to implement more measures of control.
C. Something else I haven't thought of.
7) Who organized these, and for what purpose? This ugly chapter will not be over when shutdown ends. We need to peel back every rotten layer.
