It’s a fucking nickelodeon kids show. Lol. What?
Take a step away and breathe. JFC. If this is the kind of shit you are gonna get rilled up about. Enough to make a 10 minute video critiquing, again, a fucking kids show, for not openly condoning killing a bunch of civilians then honestly your opinions will never be taken seriously by me.
Maybe take a step back and consider “As a Marxist, is this really the best thing for me to spend my time on? Is this the best I can do to spread communism and get people to take us seriously? Attacking a popular show that was made for kids.”
I think this is a bad take. Sure, it is a kids show, but anyone who has a mild amount of knowledge of marxism knows about the concepts of base and superstructure, and the division of the latter into political and civil society described by Gramsci.
Taking a look at the messages delivered by TV shows and other forms of media lets us see the type of ideological positions that the current mode of production allows, promotes, concedes and forbids at the moment of their production to all or some demographics - Including children and teenagers, whose opinions are the easiest to mold and shape for the future. Whoever thinks media aimed to the youngest sectors of society does not have any political effects has been completely oblivious to the spineless liberalism that Potter-mania has resulted in years later amongst masses of millennial man-children.
And yes, there are more efficient ways to use your time to spread communism than recording, editing and uploading a 10 min video essay on a children’s cartoon, but so are there better ways than commenting about it on a Cambodian trout fishing forum. Take it easy and do with your life and time whatever you want.
“Is the messaging effective”
