Let that propaganda slide baby!

…I struggle with this too, as I often find myself explaining these things to my older daughter (7). I tell her, I think it’s ok to watch these things in healthy amounts, but we should be conscious of what they might be trying to plant in our minds. We might as well enjoy the humor, the art, the emotional play and situations etc - so I guess it’s a little of both for me…like, let the propaganda slide a little, but don’t let it slide all the way into your subconscious without being checked at the door.

This was an awesome write up, homie, and now I’m more willing to go see this movie than I was before. Also, yeah I hate seeing how entertainment today is so blatantly fixated on divisive storylines and characters; I agree with your stance on healthy conversation:)

That's wise. It's a good thing to teach a kid, especially so young. 'Cause it's tempting to slide into the other extreme of blocking out all these propaganda-loaded numbers. Except that's not healthy either.

Glad you enjoyed it! It's great for summer giggles ;)

Absolutely! I am a firm believer in the middle road :)
