Is it any wonder I tend to gravitate to video games where the main character is stranded alone somewhere. Subnautica, Satisfactory, Factorio, Antichamber...

I would say we peaked copaganda when Sonic 3 had the GUN general guy be a good guy. GUN was never Sonic's friend. They didnt even play City Escape in that movie. 5/10.

What do you define as propaganda? Anything could be if your definition is too broad.

25 years ago I noticed the trend in the movies in the theater, and realized the USA was becoming fascist. I was sad, but surprised later at how long it took. I rather thought it would be faster and more dramatic, and not this creeping sorry mediocrity seen later in politics

I have a Flag Smashers shirt... go figure, they speak to me.

I was putting it on a couple days ago and I paused and thought about it, and suddenly realized the immensity of the propaganda - the great Captain America destroying the evil socialists who think resources should be shared by everyone, and that nationalism is a barrier to truly having 'one human family'.

Blew my mind it took me this long. Also made me wonder if they were dug up from long ago comics when America was openly and blatantly monitoring and persecuting socialists and communists (specifically picturing the scenarios and time illustrated in Oppenheimer). Haven't had a chance to dig in to that part yet, but I will right now!
