Why do so many TV shows feature liberal propaganda?

 

     Conservatives tend to avoid risk and change. A conservative opinion is one that is based on tradition. A conservative estimate doesn’t allow for assumptions, guesswork, or speculation. A conservative investment is in reliable, slow-but-steady performers. Conservatives believe in obedience to authority and that every person is responsible for their own actions and deserves to succeed or fail on their own terms.  There is a progressive or liberal mindset to a lot of television shows. I think the reason for this is similar to the reason we see so much multiculturalism in retail and advertising. Companies want to sell to everyone. So they put out products that appeal to as wide a swath of the populace as they possibly can. Shows that feature or seem intolerant to certain groups inherently limit the show’s appeal.

 

The big points:

 

 EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT: Entertainers, writers, directors … most come from liberal arts universities. These institutions are generally left of center.
Universities have devolved into “cloud palace” thinking in part by constant recirculating of subsets of information and perspective (keep in mind Brian was a tenured professor, so he saw this from the inside). Students graduating from such places will carry with them the biases of the institutions … unless they are surviving free thinkers.

THE ENTERTAINMENT ENVIRONMENT — PEOPLE: If you enter a field where people largely share the same ideology, you will conform for sake of career and social interaction. Hollywood and New York had a bit of a head start on leftist logic, so entering the entertainment field likely put one in the middle of the mindset.

THE ENTERTAINMENT ENVIRONMENT — NARRATIVE: “Hollywood celebrates dysfunction.” Interesting stories have some dysfunction. Hollywood thrives on over-the-top stories of broken, sick, rude, vulgar characters. This does two things. First, it resets their perspective on normalcy. Second, it occasionally requires the dysfunction to be evaluated through personal lenses. Any connection the writer/actor/director has to the dysfunction will be treated more personally to remove their personal stigma. Anything “conservative” in review of that dysfunction has to be rejected because it is less forgiving.

But the big element is ……

THE MEDIA-POLITICAL COMPLEX: Politicians know that the media can help them get elected. Since New York and Hollywood had left-of-center biases long ago, they naturally associated with left-of-center politicians. The incestuous relationship had the same effects as real incest, namely horrible disfiguring of future generations. The entertainment industry protects their political associates, and the simple way is to demonize their opponents.

     Liberalism has been hijacked by progressive authoritarians and like all authoritarians they believe in complete conformity of thought. One way they attempt to achieve this is through entertainment. Anyone that doesn’t adhere strictly to their narrow belief system is “cancelled” and shunned out of the industry. As the left become increasingly more authoritarian there will be less and less creativity and unique ideas in the entertainment industry and more and more conformist propaganda.

 

 

     There is this concept called “group think”. Those who think differently from the crowd, get verbally attacked. There are conservatives in Hollywood, but they need to keep a low profile. Liberals don’t believe in thought and world view diversity. Their way or you get “canceled”. Liberals see themselves as superior to others. They must school the less enlightened, the idiots who dwell outside of the Hollywood cocoon. This has been going on since the 60s.

     In communism the way to control the people is through media and education. Change a culture by putting it on the big screen.

     Hollywood is also liberal because conservatives are just not allowed to have a voice.
