When watching most shows, movies, whatever from the West, I feel like I’m slamming my head against a wall. There are a few exceptions that are at least better, but seriously. My head hurts because of how mad I am at blatant copaganda. The show was even portraying police in a negative light, but my sometimes-leftist sibling and bootlicker dad were spouting the copaganda. Sibling seems to think the law applies to cops, and Dad can hardly comprehend the US did things like genocide or police brutality. Sure Jim Crow wasn’t that bad, right?? Ugh. And Law and Order SVU trying to pretend law enforcement and ICE aren’t buddy-buddy. Or that those are bad cops, but we’re the good guys. Tell that to your dude who just beat up a man with schizophrenia to get him to confess to a crime he didn’t do, and you just went “Oops. Wrong suspect.”

    Basically that theyre childish escapist fantasies that glorify strongmen and masked vigilantes, and that its not a coincidence that superhero movies have been so popular at the same time naked fascism is on the rise in the west (hes directly called superhero movies specifically a “blight on culture”)
