see McLuhlen

the ultimate point is power in politics, the role of media only counts toward that goal

for this context

McLuhlen?

excuse me Mcluhan

"The medium is the message" and Postman after him

IF you want to look at movies, take it back to when teh British were using them to sucker us into WWII

then you go walk it forward and look at them in general for each era of politics

for the current context however, the main issue is when the Evangelicals began their major campaign to lock in power inside the Republican party, an all-in strategy

I have no idea. But I will put my claim that entertaintment has favored a left leaning(culturally speaking) push for the past 10-15 years.

And in society in large - From letting 8 year old be promoted as drag queens to allowing transitioned men compete in their sportfield.
I dont see this as isoltaed incident but as push that is promoted by the left.

And the "Right" following

They cynical used abortion as a motivating issue because normally their flock were not going to go along wtih the 'billionaire favoring' legislation that Reagan was for etc

just a few year s after

brb

10-15 years is not even a generation, the pushback from the left caem from the culture war the Evangelicals started

this is like analyzing a football game from halftime on and ignoring how one team pulled out ahead

basically, just because you START a war, doesn't mean you WIN a war. but if the goal is to change 'domestic' politics, they succeeded, until recently

I dont know about evangelicals in the republican party.

I am talking in broad strokes what I see around any entertainment media. I really don't know where you are going with that statement.

You, as a 38 year old, doesn't see the strong push in entertainment? Where it almost has to have a strong social progressive undertone.

the right is fighting a culture war inside its ranks right now

If you don't know about evangelicals in the republican party, you don't really know what we are talking about

Yea I see your points of institutions like entertainment and society adopting "left" leaning ideas such as homosexuality, however its not an all-in left pushing era we are in. Homosexuals, women in power, people of color having higher attention, all of this has been a common occurrence for the past several decades. It may look like its some left leaning push, but its all mainly for profiteering off of the trends in society

Like if it didn't get as much attention as it does now, do you think anyone would care if there was a gay person playing James Bond for example?

no one would change their minds on watching it

but since its become such a hot issue, people will talk about it, or even watch it just because he's gay

i think the anti-sjws are not sensitive to how sensitive THEY are

which makes the memes write themselves

@E2D2

Exactly, once it was unthinkable And one day it might be a pedophile, that today is considered impossible

They're not trying to implement a message, they're just using the people to make profit

I don't think you understand

would having a pedophile as James Bond make a profit as an example

the politically consequences are 'base mobilization' strategy because 'the right' cannot use economic policy since people are not going to explicitly vote against their own interests, if they know better

do you think radical right, rightists, conservatives, liberals, socialists, etc. would want to see something like that and support it? @kotten

that has been the situation since Reagan, whom chopped off the top end but then put in SocSEc income taxes

@E2D2 I have no doubt that the culture could change so much that they would. We've had such socities in the past.

that's why the Myth of Reagan has to be upheld as well

why they support him so much

@kotten im talking about now

they need to use him as an icon because the real details are 'horrifying'

It is unthinkable now, But so was having homosexuals as starts 100 years ago.

it actually wasn't

exactly, that's the okie doke we are talking about
