Politics is downstream from culture, as Andrew Breitbart once said.
What’s the term for “woke” right wingers who worry about this stuff too much?
Are we pretending Warner Bros. are on the left because they made a movie with some buzz words?
The outrage machine may be bad, but they make for great unintentional killer posters.
I know pretty much nothing about this movie, but if i saw: Barbie, they won’t be happy until we’re all gay, i would absolutely walk in and watch it
Keep in mind this works both ways. The progressive outrage machine is arguably even more active than the conservative machine. Look at the reaction to Sound of Freedom. An extremely neutral movie when you consider the politics of its content. But the main actor is a conspiracy theorist, so I guess that means the movie is a far right propaganda vehicle? By that logic most movies are far left propaganda vehicles.
A similar phenomenon has always followed Trump around. Media gets insane hits for anti-Trump content. Some people built entire careers off of reporting on his tweets. The more shocking and exaggerated they could make the content, the more money came flooding in. That’s why so much of the coverage of Trump was sensationalized and uncharitable. It’s also why moderates couldn’t help but root for him. There’s only so much the established powers that be can lie about someone before you want to support him regardless of his character flaws. It helped that his policies were generally great, focusing on anti-war and populist market adjustments.
This is why you should always take the news with a grain of salt. They’re all out to make money, and they all have agendas.
Not to mention the “progressives” reaction to Matt Walsh’s movie “what is a woman?”
Remember when Velma pissed everyone off equally and there was a brief moment of bipartisan unity? That was fun.
