it's easy to forget the bloodthirsty insanity of "24"; after 9/11, islamic terrorists weren't blowing up american buildings and civilians every second of the day like some people thought they would, so the americans made a show where they did. and then they used this show to justify war crimes, as though it documented events that were actually happening

this shit radicalized the fuck out of me as a young adult. the torture justification stuff especially, like "look that classic hypothetical where a terrorist bomb is going to go off and kill hundreds of people and the only way you can stop it is by torturing this guy you're sure is the bomber" which was then cited by fucking Scalia as justification for actual torture. some of the most morally wretched media our civilization has ever produced.
