      1. The fact that a huge amount of time is spent discussing the political ramifications of the sexuality, ethnicity, and so on of actors in what are, effectively, children’s entertainments is a damning indictment of our situation.

      2. It is true that these issues are politically salient, since mass entertainment basically tells people what to think and what history “is”. However, these debates become heated precisely because they are easy to understand.

      3. The “politics” of mass entertainment is just an extension of the gossip industry, although conducted in a vaguely moralised way. However, it may have an unexpected power bc these modern myths are very, very important to some people.

      4. For example, a man in his late 30s described something I said about politics as being like Thanos (a character I had to look up just, but am vaguely aware of from Twitter). In other words, people still take their cues & thinking from mass entertainment quite late in life.

      5. I can’t claim any superiority here, since I used to go along with it as and acceptable middle ground, but I gave up years ago. The point is that alterations to mass entertainment can make people very angry; it’s the closest thing they have to community.

      6. Fiddle with the bread and circuses—as the left does with mass entertainment—and you may find some unpleasant side effects

          7. The left doesn’t understand that violent action films were used to sublimate certain forms of ethnic self-expression in defence of liberal democracy (i.e. you can be a fascist sadist like James Bond in defence of libe democracy). What happens when you remove the sublimation?
