Typical right-wing neo-fascist propaganda

You can't be 'right wing' and be any kind of Fascist.  Fascism is left-wing.   The only reason
Fascism got labeled right wing is that some of the fascist leaders hated the communists.  This had a lot more to do with power (Mussolini who started as a communist) and with WW1 (Hitler).   That, and it wouldn't do for the socialists at the time (FDR) to be IDed with the majority of the Fascist ideologies even though they were 1st cousins in thought.

Are there agendas in entertainment?  Yes.  Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?  had an agenda.  Much of the entertainment today is meant to normalize abnormal behaviors.  Knowing that this is a fact in all media, you have a choice.  1. watch with a discerning eye, or 2. consume no entertainment at all. 

I choose 1 and most of the time I can separate the agenda from the story if I like it.  I started something the other day that was way too far out there for me to continue.  Cider, It was a Brit show This Is Going to Hurt   :grin:   Had the potential to be good, but pushed the agenda too hard for my taste.

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Is this David Jesudason the guy who writes for the Guardian and BBC?  I can't think they'd have anyone 'right wing' anywhere near them?

What is funny about his review and comments by others, is that they label populist politicians as anti-democratic.  They are the definition of democratically elected people, or democracy at work.
  Does that always work out?  No.  Is there a really good reason that the current worldview doesn't tolerate populists?  You bet!  You can't keep moving toward your one world 'great reset' if you allow the people to choose those they wish to choose, and those people are usually those who promise to put their own country first. 

You can see it around the world.  Every so called populist leader has been under attack from worldwide forces and from within.  It's not an accident.

I would treat anything in the Guardian with a large pinch of salt :wink:
