Is this satire?
- bigbadfeline 2mo agoIt's actually quite good for a publication that rarely publishes good content. I'd rate it near the top of everything I've ever seen in The Economist. Near the end of the article, there's this blurb: To understand the deep meaning of “Paw Patrol”, the best tool may not be ideology but psychoanalysis. One of its tenets is that many children want desperately to heal their parents, partly for their own well-being, sometimes taking on parental roles themselves. In plain text, Paw_Patrol's main feature is depicting adults (and all parents) as astonishingly dumb, they have no intelligence whatsoever, they behave like helpless toddlers to be saved and directed by the all-knowing children. This setup destroys children's minds, turns them against their parents, removes any semblance of parental authority and makes the child an easy prey of scams and propaganda.
