I feel like a majority of American media reaffirms all these reactionary ideas. Like these superhero movies implicitly saying you can only change things if the right person comes along to fix it or if you go through the proper channels (great man theory). Like think of a white suburbanite's interaction with the cops, you would have next to no contact with them, and if you did, it probably wasn't shitty. Then our suburbanite goes and watches CSI on network TV or Die Hard or even Family Guy with the character Joe, who is a cop. They all show the mythological cop who protects citizens and stops crimes as they happen. This media concludes that cops are good people. And then most people are too tired after work to do anything besides tune out and watch TV.

We already know how much the military and DOD has influence over movies and the nfl. That was annoying as shit trying (and failing) to burst that bubble of chud family about how astroturfed the Colin Kaepernick and kneeling at football games controversy was.

If you don't challenge your beliefs or do any material analysis on these things or even talk to people who do say cops are problematic, for example, then with how pervasive and not subversive the media is, then of course we get liberals who refuse to believe reality might be different than what they think it is. You don't see too many movie plots of people collectively realizing something's bullshit and that they have the collective power to stop the bullshit.
