"All the social-chauvinists are now 'Marxists' (don’t laugh!)"

I love how every picture from a non Western country is always some military or police figure or building behind some scary looking object like a fence or a wall. Even though the fence in this picture is clearly decorative, and the person in the picture is clearly in symbolic dress uniform. Nothing about what's happening in the scene is functional for defense or control, it's all decorative or symbolic, but western media always uses pictures like this to evoke some feeling of fear. It's so disgustingly hilariously obvious and they always do it. I'll never forget years ago some picture was floating around about some evil secret government camp, when it turns out the photographer literally put their camera in a drainage ditch to make it look like there was a wall, and used all sorts of gray filters to make it look bleak. When in reality it was just a nice building right beside a nice city block.
