BTR News: Social Programming and the Subtle Promotion of Militarism

In this episode of BTR News w/ Scotty Reid, we explore how seemingly harmless acts like creating, sharing, and promoting media that vaguely "thanks the troops" contribute to the normalization of militarism in American culture. Is this a conscious act, or are individuals unknowingly reinforcing fascistic values through social programming? Join us as we deconstruct these trends and their broader implications for society. With your help, we can continue to challenge mainstream narratives, amplify marginalized perspectives, and foster media literacy.
