The Handmaid's Tale of Propaganda

in propaganda •  6 years ago 

It's so frustrating how every single show has to have political undertones now. Even comedies. If they're not bashing the church or fatherhood or white privilege it's not getting made. And clearly we've got a huge population that doesn't agree with this agenda because - surprise! - they elected Trump, to the complete bafflement of the media establishment.

I haven't watched Handmaid's Tale. Stretching out a slim book into multiple series seems like too much, politics or no politics.

Ah I didn't know the first season covered the whole book until way after I'd seen it...I kept hoping to read more, you know, find stuff for the new series but nope.

. And clearly we've got a huge population that doesn't agree with this agenda

Yes, but that's a problem, I think. Not that they don't agree (Who in their right mind would?), but that people are forced to adhere to an agenda, you have to choose a party, support someone. When really, nobody deserves to be supported.. We're trying to find the closest thing to what we want, but none is close enough, in my opinion, and so we make compromises.

Right. And it's the fact that everyone in the media portrays the world through these polarized lenses, until people are afraid to question the narrative for fear of being considered "crazy." It just drives genuine debate underground, because we're afraid to speak our mind.

I wonder about that, was Trump reverse psychology? Was he put in place to give the media something to write about? I'm English so I don't feel qualified to comment.

What I do know, all UK politics is fake. Political party MPs – Conservative (blue), Labour (red), Liberal Democrat (orange), Scottish National (yellow), Green (green), Ukip (purple) – are played by actors reading scripts. They might wear different colours, but they all work for the same party, under the same flag:

Do you see the joke, and why our overlords are constantly pushing 'Gay Pride'. God decreed on Sodom and Gomorrah, and they want to be justified to do the same thing to us. The Old Testament states pagans can be used and abused, so create an education system and main stream media to make us all pagan Sodomites.

When you cast the beam out of your own eye the truth is truly horrifying. But the Good News is...

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. – John 8:31-32

God Bless.
