The real lesson of The Wire is that you (Chairman Stringer Bell) cannot force your ideology (abstract white collar crime) onto the masses (street thugs) without taking their material conditions (NEET - Not Educated, Engaged in Turf war) into consideration, or else they will rebel against you, the opps take advantage of the weak organization, and your entire movement falls apart.
I have never watched the wire
is there anything wrong wit it ? politically
I don’t know why, but I’m drawn to portrayals of systems in motion. I like watching the criminal bosses discussing their agendas, the foot soldiers’ opsec, and the cops’ investigations.
Politically, it’s alright. If you just go into it with “cops bad, politicians bad, mob bosses bad, they’re all friends,” then the politics don’t matter all that much
Ok
