It’s definitely post-colonial, neoliberal capitalist propaganda. However, I really had to study it deeply to come to that conclusion, because my initial thoughts was that it was overthinking of children’s television - but now I can understand that my very initial perspective was literally shaped by this neoliberal bullshittery.
- SturgeonsLaw 3y agoThis sort of thing has an impact. I grew up watching Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Roger Ramjet, and it moulded my opinion of the USA and the USSR
- TeMPOraL 3y agoNah, I'd stick with overthinking - I think that when you start stringing together phrases like "post-colonial, neoliberal capitalist" to describe a thing, you're way in the overthinking land (and/or trying to confuse your interlocutor with rhetoric).
- slim 3y agoyou just reacted to keywords with preprocessed refutal to a person claiming he had to put in effort to get out of precisely that behaviour. maybe you could use some introspection, self reflection and reading ?
- vikramkr 3y agoYeah, really had to study it is a great way of saying really had to confirmation bias my way into it. First time really hearing about this show and I'm trying to find real examples of pro-laizzes-faire propaganda or facial or anything but all I'm getting is that people definitely thought real hard about this, pinky promise. I mean seriously this article is arguing that a show that shows authority figures are corrupt and incompetent is fascist. That's not like a counterexample to the claim in the article. The article claims that not blindly worshiping authority is fascist. Next thing I'll be reading that the show promotes unhealthy habits by showing the kid eating vegetables and getting exercise
