I don’t know about y’all, but if I grew up in a country that never has the news criticizing its leaders, I’d be very skepical and deduce that there is censorshop going on and the offical news could be exaggerated or entirely falsified. Do people in authoritarian countries actually just eat the propaganda? To what extent do they believe the propaganda?

Wow, the police where you live must be either pretty good, or pretty bored. If someone stole a bucket of dirt from my garden and I rang the police about it, I genuinely think they’d laugh at me… Honestly so would I.

Where I’m from, they’d probably confiscate said dirt as evidence, charge the person with trespassing and some sort of misdemeanor property theft, and you’d never see your dirt again, as it was evidence in a crime.
It’s not your dirt, it’s the government’s dirt.
