Propaganda asks us to accept mass shootings as normal and survivable
“You Can Survive a Mass Shooting”
“If you are prepared”
I wish the following video was satire, but it is very real. The FBI actually produced this video a few years ago. You can even go to fbi.gov/survive to learn more.
It seems that profits from the sales of guns and weapons are just too much to expect the wealthy shareholders of these stocks to give up. Instead, the responsibility for the results of gun violence is placed on the masses — people just trying to live their everyday lives.
We are encouraged, in the above video, to just “be prepared”, for godssake. The quotes I used in my title and subtitle are actually from the video.
As if those who don’t educate themselves about what to do, should they find their church, school, grocery store, movie theater, recreation area (it’s sad that I could just go on and on with the list of mass shooting locations) under fire, only have themselves to blame if they don’t survive.
