    There is no consistency in how mass arrests are depicted in Western media. If this took place in a "hostile" country, it would be declared state-sponsored repression by an authoritarian regimehttps://twitter.com/AFP/status/1071677086778048512 …

        Or in pretty much any non-Western country. The neo-liberal culture - in its corporate or state-owned form - is such a hotbed of creatively disguised paternalistic othering, that would make Cecil Rhodes all aflutter.

        American media always have a hard time wrapping their heads around protests that involve burning cars and tear gas when the protestors aren't brown people.

        Imagine if you will that these protests were taking place now in America, how many media heads would be out there condemning Trump for suppressing the will of the people? Truth be told I wish these type of protests would take place in America because it's really overdue.

        It's like that time when Israel was sniping, injuring and murdering protesters, teens, reporters while our politicians, media elites defended or ignored or justified it. Then when Trump used tear gas on the boarder. Something Obama has done. These same elites are outraged.

        Remember the Catalonian Independence Referendum? What they did then is exactly what they did here. Framing the protesters as hostile elements.

        First saw this in Bloomberg's 2004 Repub convention policing by 'his army.' People were 'kettled' and netted (plastic construction netting) and carted off to a make shift pier jail for the days of the convention. He's supposedly a Dem now.

        Was thinking the same – I'm in Ukraine and our 2013 uprising was depicted very favourably in W media. Sure, no burning cars/looted shops (until shootings began), but still contrast is stark.
