Hollywood Studios Like Marvel Use Themes Of Revolution To Radicalize Viewers


Popular culture is an apparatus used by corporate studios to launder leftist beliefs into the mainstream; everything we consume is a psy-op.

Marvel Studios’ latest release, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” is bad; there is simply no other way to describe it. It is poorly written, with hamfisted exposition, and relies more on dreary but elaborate computer-generated imagery than storytelling to keep the audience engaged.

In line with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) current ideological trajectory, the film reduces father figures to the status of court jesters and cuckolds while emphasizing the virtues of adultery and the political radicalization of children. Further establishing the franchise’s commitment to emasculation — hence the critical moniker “M-She-U” — Paul Rudd’s role as a father is to be the “yes man” for his teenage daughter’s Jacobin whims. Michael Douglas’ character, despite being a super genius, is depicted as a forlorn curmudgeon who accepts his wife’s adultery as merely a minor inconvenience.

But this really ought to be expected, as it has become the norm for Marvel’s parent company — Disney — to shoehorn leftist ideology into everything they produce. Disney’s obsession with inculcating its audience — which is effectively the world — with leftist ideology is why the studio’s storylines constantly revolve around political revolutions and cultural rebellions. It reinforces the priorities of the leftist managerial class that rules over us.

Corporate studios use pop culture productions to launder leftist beliefs into the mainstream. It’s part of the reason there is an insistence on building cinematic universes and churning out sequels. These stories are tools that aid in forming the widely accepted narratives that direct society. So, naturally, they will be used by the leftists who make them to disseminate leftism.

That is why the ethnically and sexually diverse group of rag-tag scrappy startup engineers, refugees, intellectuals, and ideologues has become an ever-present trope in the media we consume. Intersectional paramilitaries are the new “multiracial TV gang” that prime audiences for perpetual cultural revolution in real life.

How many beloved stories valorize rebellious coalitions that rise up to put curmudgeonly governing institutions in their place? Many.


In the “Star Wars” franchise, the diverse Rebellion and the Resistance seek to undermine the oppressive Empire and First Order, both of which prominently feature middle-aged to old white men. Cinematic adaptations of popular young adult fiction like “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent” franchises place political rebellion and resisting oppressive forces at the forefront of their narratives.

Even without “Quantumania,” the MCU’s catalog has become filled with “burn it down” leftist apologetics. The most prominent example of this is the Disney Plus series “The Falcon and the Winter Solider,” featuring a group of anti-establishment, transnational terrorists who murder people in order to achieve social equity and free medicine. “Wandavision,” a series about an emotionally unstable witch, justifies the main character waging war against the U.S. government and holding an entire city hostage because her emotions got the...

Biden Judicial Nom Argued for Outlawing Offensive Speech, Suggested ‘Microaggressions’ Can ‘Kill You’ Meet Maria Araujo Kahn, Biden’s nominee for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals



Meet Maria Araujo Kahn, Biden’s nominee for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals

Joe Biden’s nominee to fill a vacancy on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is a longtime diversity trainer who has argued for curtailing the First Amendment and conducted training sessions that say "microaggressions" can "kill you."

Now an associate justice on the Connecticut State Supreme Court, Maria Araujo Kahn flirted in a 2020 opinion with criminalizing speech that offends "oppressed groups." Since 2013, she has also delivered at least a dozen diversity trainings and presentations to lawyers across the country, with titles like "Cultural Competence, Implicit Association and Racial Anxiety," according to her Senate Judiciary Questionnaire.

To prepare for one of those trainings, offered to graduates of Fordham Law School, participants were instructed to watch an animated video, "How Microaggressions Are Like Mosquito Bites," that depicts a man-sized mosquito telling a dark-hued college student to "try a less challenging major" and then sucking him dry.

"Some mosquitoes carry truly threatening diseases that can mess up your life for years," a voice-over says. "And other mosquitos carry strains that can even kill you."

The video then cuts to a mosquito holding a gun next to a dead body. "I felt threatened," the insect tells officers at the scene of the crime. "It looked like he was up to trouble, ok?"

Another clip depicts a black woman murdering several mosquitos with a flamethrower after they ask to touch her hair.

The revelations could prove a last minute stumbling block for Kahn, who in September sailed through the Senate judiciary committee with little pushback. A final vote on her nomination could come as soon as next week.

As a Second Circuit judge, Kahn would have a say in some of the influential judicial cases in the county—and would bring to the court a controversial view of the First Amendment.

In a 2020 opinion, Kahn criticized the "fighting words" exception to the First Amendment—which bans speech likely to spark violence—on the grounds that some groups are unlikely or unable to physically retaliate against insults. That means they "must endure a higher level of offensive speech before being afforded legal remedies," she wrote. Though Kahn is vague on how exactly she would reform First Amendment law, the opinion laments that bigots can "verbally assault certain oppressed groups"—especially women and the disabled—"without fear of criminal prosecution."

Kahn did not respond to a request for comment.

The Second Circuit’s docket is unusually high-profile, in part because of its jurisdiction over New York state, and often includes prominent free speech cases. In 2022, for example, the Second Circuit upheld a New York state official’s right to discourage banks from doing business with...
