I always find it funny when these white middle class inner city kids think Avatar The Last Airbender is like their neolib globohomo politics.

Avatar is about the traditional struggle, both physical and spiritual, of a learned spiritual master who tries to keep the cosmic balance of good and evil, in this particular case between two ancient absolute monarchies, an ascetic spiritual guild that was wiped out, and shamanist clan.

I would say this is typically more edgy liberals than your typical twitter leftist, because rich liberals treat politics as a question of identity. Complaining about inequality, to them, is no different than posting pictures on instagram. The result of this is that politics to them, is about aesthetics, or at best, a sort of game : hence their tendency to derive their worldview from books written for teenagers.

Am I a conspiracy theorist for thinking that our existing cultural touchstones were intentionally supplanted by Disney movies?

It would be somewhat okay if we were provided direct replacements for our myths. I guess that was stage one of the mass media, reproducing works in the public domain for a quick buck.

Now we have a cheap simulacrum of myth, works that don't even have coherent storylines or characters. These works simply state their intentions up front and you imagine that the words or images that follow affirm that intention. It's like selling a cover full of empty pages, you fill it out yourself.

There is a mythology to Disney movies.

Unironically, and I know this will be seen as kind of a joke, Jordan Peterson touches on the stuff pretty well. The Pinocchio stuff is a little bit overwrought but from what I remember his discussion of princesses is really good.

Women are portrayed as either beautiful and self-evidently valuable or ugly, evil and treacherous. The woman goes on an adventure in which she is constantly the central object. The adventure involves a series of things happening to her. The beautiful woman is worthy of being elevated and pursued by a prince whose backstory is insubstantial, whose only trait is (also self-evident from his mere appearance) his ability and to elevate the beautiful girl to the state of princess. This is what makes him worthy of the girl.

I'm doing a very bad job of explaining it but there is definitely depth to them and they are definitely a psyop.

Also avoid red pill bullshit which has their own misogynist retard barely-literate-tier takes.

Look, she's right. The underlying theme in most popular fiction today is transgression and the fight against the system (whatever the system is). Is it strange that the generation is acting the way it is? It is to be expected. This is the garbage they were raised on, the naive worldview of the sixties - the citizenry fighting against "the system" for their rights.
Given how prominent the theme is, and how mixed-in with sentimentality it is, it makes steady consideration of the issues nearly impossible. It is a tragedy. But it can't be helped.

NPC are “non-player characters” in video games. They have no identities beyond moving back and forth with one line to offer the players. You grey splotches of paint on a wall have a folder of pepes and blowjacks to share as you walk back and forth, shunning identity of any kind. You are the “non-normies”, you are legion, you always forget. We expect nothing to come of you.
