This person tried to tell me peanut butter was illegal in the Soviet Union because they saw it on stranger things. Like…. you know you can fact check that right? You just believe whatever the tv tells you??
It’s even FUNNIER cuz they were talking about how much they hate the 4th, USA and capitalism… like bestie that was kinda the Soviet unions whole thing. What’s worse is I ask them: what makes them evil? And they answer: because the soviets are evil.
Honestly it’s just sad because people are just so content in their lil ignorance bubbles. Learning about communism from corporate media, being led a stray from any actual class consciousness.
We must never stop explaining in this upside down world. ( lol get it)
You can 100% bet that the ClA stepped in to make sure the script writers stopped with that anti-USA shit and made them put in anti-Russia and fascist propaganda for the 2nd season
The first season probably only made it through with an uncensored script because it wasn’t popular enough to be vetted until it got released
Yeah, start making shows where the CIA to doing horrendously fucked up things to children and you start to get too close to actual truth. Even if what the CIA actually did was magnitudes worse than what goes on in the show. Gotta throw in how the real big bad is Russia somehow and that torturing kids was necessary to stop them.
Which makes people think “America is bad but they do bad things for our own good!!” Shows like this just promotes the propaganda. I’m honestly glad someone made a post about this, because I noticed this shit but couldn’t find a sub to put my opinion on the show in.
I don’t think CIA even needed to step up tbh. Anti-Communism is something so consistent in Netflix and american movie industry that its very likely the directors themselves just decided to do it bc yes
I agree but to go from anti-USA to anti-Russia from one season to the next is a massive swing in the opposite direction that’s sus af
