The endless propaganda.
Right now I am trying to watch a mystery series but I can't get myself not to notice the feminist and multiculty propaganda built into it. And into almost everything else produced for our viewing pleasure. Teaching us how the world both is and ought to be and how we should think and feel about it.
Phallic Phemales and Numinous Negroes requisite and abounding. It's especially cool if they're In Charge. And there's The Sacrosanct Interracial Couple/Family. (In this particular one, we have a bi-racial lesbian couple with their Blond daughter...A home run.)
A Potemkin village of race and gender ideology. Lies presented as unquestioned reality.
Hardly any White male, especially if he is a lead and not evil, can be allowed to be by himself without minders of color and vagina. Not even Raylan Givens, who's now got a Black girl boss.
Most men, especially White, are presented as venal, stupid or cowardly. Women, the more of color the better, are smart and responsible. Stronger and better than the men.
It offends the hell out of me.
It was long conventional status-wisdom to sagely poo-poo the dramas and comedies of the 50s for their "unreal" depictions of pleasantly monochrome worlds of picket-fenced intact White families with working fathers and housewife mothers and non-pathological children, etc. It was hell, apparently.
Everything now is "open-minded" and "realistic"...and just as much propaganda as the Soviet posters in Jay Carney's kitchen
PS The film is Under The Dome. Episode 1 was so offensive that I skipped to Episode 13. It added stupid to offensive. Stephen King is a hugely, vastly, galactically, ineffably over-rated writer. The Langoliers. The Stand. OMG.
