Devon Stack (Black Pilled is his YouTube channel) does a lot of good long-form reviews of movies from the 60s-90s where he goes through and sort of points out the anti-white brainwashing western media has been churning out pretty much since the dawn of television.

I don’t think he’s completely right about everything (his joker review comes to mind) but it’s very interesting analysis of how pop culture was essentially designed as a tool to subvert any kind of traditional morality.

Yeah I might be biased because I liked the movie, and there’s certainly some obvious stuff like making the three guys who harass the woman and beat up Arthur on the subway white bro-types, and making almost all of the sympathetic characters black, but I think some of the stuff in his review is a bit of a reach. He also spends a lot of time beating the whole “Joker is just a ripoff of Taxi Driver/King of Comedy” dead horse which I find to be a pretty off-base take.

pop culture was essentially designed as a tool to subvert any kind of traditional morality.

I don't exactly agree, but I think it was inevitable in a way. If pop culture is made without respect to the dominant culture, it becomes a second culture. Two cultures can't really coexist within the same space; one must give ground to the other because cultural conflicts are inevitable without shared values.

So, I could accept that pop culture was made with good intentions, but that some naivete doomed it to the path it took. Of course, all things being organic, we would not have given nearly as much ground to the pop culture. I just don't think it's necessary for it to have been so ill-intentioned at the start.

No. Why do you ask?
