How is kindness a bad thing? I thought that was universally agreed to be a good message to have in a piece of media. I guess the excuse is they don’t want media to have messages at all but like, how would you even have a movie where the hero has no values that they stand for?

    Propaganda is powerful. You convince your followers that some classes of people don’t deserve kindness, you convince them that everything out of Hollywood is part of a leftist agenda, and once they believe both of those statements it’s very easy to spin this as further proof of the narrative they’ve already bought into.

      I’m just baffled because not only is it way easier to not hate people, it’s way more beneficial for everyone.

      These people are taking two mile hikes to find the perfect deer shit to shove down their throats.

          That’s fully understood, we’re talking about propaganda, and I’m talking about who that propaganda affects.

          You’re not wrong though at all. Arm yourself, convince anyone you can to do the same.
