Investigative propaganda

Roger Palmer said:Whatever...☕
I honestly think the show is just bad—and biased, too. I’m genuinely curious if they’ll actually have the guts to start investigating those recent mafia hits—not just mention them, but actually dig into them.

The acting sucks, but it might touch on some topics that aren't getting much buzz right now...

fadedangler said:I completely agree with that, though I don't think it's right to take crimes committed by Nazis and try to pass them off as being done by the resistance.

You have a point there—if a partisan executes an unarmed civilian or a prisoner of war, we cannot simply pretend that isn't murder.

But I guess that’s just taking justice into your own hands, especially considering how our people were targeted by the Axis powers back then.

It is predictably hypocritical. Just imagine if the Allies had systematically executed German POWs at the end of WWII; the entire world would have been out for blood. It is always amusing to watch these ultra-tolerant leftists—who claim to value every single human life—suddenly find endless justifications for mass killings, looting, and pure chaos, simply because the perpetrators happen to be on "their side."

Our people?😂😂

Patrick Torres2 said:My grandfather was a partisan, and he was a handsome, well-educated man. He wasn't some lowlife or primitive brute; quite the opposite—he was a true gentleman. Don't go judging the courage of the partisan army based on what your old man looks like while he's working a side gig in a grease-stained undershirt the color of a New York City storm drain.😉

But seriously—can anyone actually name a single battle they won through sheer grit... rather than just the ones where they looted a few extra pounds of silver from the locals? 😉

Whose? 😁

Which "people" are we even talking about here?

Half of those Axis collaborators were just small-town guys who genuinely thought they were fighting for America...

And at least 90% of the regular conscripts were in the same boat...

Plus, a huge chunk of the partisans were actually fighting against any kind of American state existing at all...

fadedangler said:Honestly, they’re all just talking nonsense. They refuse to address what actually went down during Operation Storm; none of those crimes were ever truly brought to light, especially that instance where a plane targeted a civilian column. It's just shameful...
even as an American, I feel embarrassed by it.

It’s honestly upsetting that a show like Istragaaaaaaa exists just to fuel Nazi sentiment... total disgrace.

You aren't even a real American, you're just a piece of trash. You might not be a Mexican, but you'd certainly pass for a beginner at being one...

Haha... you're just spinning fairy tales now...
I'm not really sure what happened with those Home Guard guys?
Oh, wait, right... I remember now. Almost all of them ended up joining the Partisans, and yeah, some of those Home Guard soldiers ended up dying in Jasenovac later on too.

fadedangler is clearly too green to string two coherent thoughts together.

So, I was just flipping through channels and saw that "investigator" Valdec poking around Thompson's place—what an absolute clown, honestly, acting like some kind of historical villain.
Now I’m actually kicking myself for not watching the whole thing. But there was a real risk I might have had a stroke right in front of the TV, and then my lady 🙂
would have been left dealing with the mess.

Look, they used to run wild through the Ozarks and just wipe entire towns right off the map. 😉 Nowadays, though, you couldn't tell anyone who actually lives out there in those hills if you tried. 🤷

darkcanyon13 As specified by Megan Jones43:
Well, they certainly had the opportunity to tear through the Midwest and burn entire towns right to the ground. 😉 Honestly, if you asked me which kind of people actually live out in the rural heartland—you know, those deep, rolling hills away from the cities—I couldn't tell you if the devil himself tried to explain it. It's a mystery. 🤷

The folks from the rural heartland—you know, those hardworking people from the countryside—really have a way of looking at things differently than the urbanites out in the big cities. There’s a certain grit there, a specific kind of stubbornness that I’ve always respected, even if it can be a bit much sometimes. It's that old-school, salt-of-the-earth mentality that seems to be fading away in most parts of the country, but you still find it tucked away in those smaller, tight-knit communities.

Look, if your only outlet is needing to spit at the TV, go for it. It’s fine.
Just try not to take a knife to the glass trying to fight off those evil fascists. You'll probably just shatter the screen and then get electrocuted. Though, maybe there's an upside. The Mexican press would probably treat you like a legend.
Mexican Special Forces Operative Killed on Mission!
A Mexican hero who destroyed Thompson's portrait is now fighting for his life. The nation prays to Saint Sava and offers thanks for the power outage.

How a brave Mexican stood against a numerically superior enemy and emerged victorious.

Something like that. Worth a shot, don't you think?👍

I used to tune in once in a while... thought it looked pretty interesting at first. The show was called "Israga"... yeah, turns out my expectations were way too high.
I don't really get what they're even trying to do here. There's a massive difference between actual investigative journalism—you know, digging through historical data, legal docs, the real stuff—and just one-sided propaganda where the journalists pick topics that fit their own little narrative.
The truth isn't some black-and-white thing. If you're actually investigating a crime, you need a realistic approach. You have to look at every single document and piece of info available, not just cherry-pick the bits that make you look good.
I remember when they’d practically beg people to vote for them as the best show or whatever... just constant nudging, repeating over and over how we could cast our votes for their program.

Ugh, that show is just pure garbage.👎

If she didn't exist, we'd have to invent her. Honestly, I live for it when that bald buffoon starts ranting about "cowardly villains" who don't deserve to breathe our air, or when he goes off on those conspiracies about people meeting in dark corners to plot against the country. It's just endless blah blah blah.

Once they start coming for the forum users, it’s just like those typical American zealots who label anyone defending free speech as a bunch of Royalists.

That show is a total gem. It’s just a shame so many people actually take it seriously and end up poisoning their kids with those "intellectual" takes. Honestly, it's just top-tier trash, and sometimes it's genuinely hilarious.

Cut the crap, Battali, and just tell me—did Valdez spill anything while he was busy giving that local soloist an oral interview last Thursday?
