Sure, but the difference is that people wanted to tell the world what happened in Raqqa. My entire point is that in a setting like Hope County, MT, the inhabitants are not interested in involving outsiders in their problems. Especially not outsiders that belong to the Federal Authorities. So when everyone has the understanding that no feds are going to come fuck up Hope County, no matter how weird and crazy that preacher is becoming, who is going to alert them?stroopwafel said:It's the 21st century. People were even able to smuggle footage out of Raqqa when islamic state took over and they were actively destroying satellite dishes and tracking whatever low-speed internet it had. They will know. If some individuals with cellphones and laptops can bring things to light certainly it wouldn't be a problem for the modern surveillance state.
Technically, some of the guns shown in the promo material are M4 derivatives that didn't exist prior to 2009 due to the copyright being held by Colt.

The anti-government sentiment from all locals is supposed to play a role in the creation of the setting
