You have to understand that Hollywood/Burbank were ALWAYS the counter-culture of the 20th century. If John Wayne's name ain't on it, it's bound to be counter-cultural somewhere in it if it has any kind of messaging at all.

But of course, they started out with the position of believing that "be nice to people no matter what they look like" was some sort of bold, brave new idea, just like they're STILL trying to pretend it's some bold, brave new idea.

They claim to be leaders, but they've only ever been followers, and the fact that it took a LOT for them to stop glamourizing fur coats is proof of that (and I notice the self-centred niggers seem to be bringing fur back on the fashion table, while at the same time demonizing animal face costumes ....)

But I guess maybe you should start with The Great Dictator and go from there.

For television, it was called a "great wasteland" because the early stuff didn't have much messaging.

Or did it? Here's another example of Hollywood/Burbank thinking it invented something new and "lefty": Blended families.

The Brady Bunch was seen as just dumb fun humour a la Gilligan's Island, but it was really selling the idea of "blended families" in the early days of easy divorce. But the Bradys were widowed you say? Yes, that's what people were used to .. because blended families were never new. They existed, though, because of husband dying in war or at work, or wifey dying in childbirth, etc. But they wanted you to think that "because now it's divorce, it's new and you better get used to it! reee!"

Actually, digging through all this old shit for examples of hidden "stolen valour" might be an interesting group project.

"Be nice to everyone" may not be the best position for various subversive reasons, but it worked decently in the 90s. The current trend of "Blacks are poor so you must bow before them forever" is downright fucking vile.

If you look at a lot of stuff from the 1970s, the Good Guys were still fighting leftover German Nazis instead of the Russian Soviets they SHOULD have been fighting.

See: Wonder Woman and Get Smart! for instance.

Why didn't they just use Russkies?

The Russian wasn't Russian in rocky. He was played by a German Swedish guy who has degrees in Engineering.

Red October was about a non Russian stealing a Russian submarine.

Rambo had Russians, but it was more about the struggles of people against communism.

Easy Rider is a shitty movie, but it's a great self-own by the hippy faggots.

On The Road by Kerouac?

Smith: if you want a really good travel series, try "Tramping through Mexico" by Harry A Franck. He was a Michigan grad back in, like, 1905. He's completely unconstrained by political correctness, so you get a beautiful idea of what life was actually like in those days. His focus is on what he's seeing, and not on the 'existential journey'. So it's not standard clap-trap like Kerouac.

I mention this because you've indicated that you speak Spanish, and work with Latinos, and Franck's books are an excellent insight into how they lived all the way up until the smart-phone.

Now, I imagine, it's all tik-tok and prostitution. I was lucky enough to go before the iPhone, and the experience was wonderful.

Can you give some examples of early leftist work you have a soft spot for?

I kind of get what you're saying, but Conservatism and Leftism aren't cultures. What you're talking about might not really be "leftist".

Some? Tim Curry spent the rest of his career trying to prove he was straight.

He's only dated women. Sure one of his best friends was Freddy Mercury, but that was just a friendship.

He fucks a guy in the movie. Definitely has gay overtones, and that's not even mentioning the tranny outfits every man wears. In fact, the one masculine-looking dude in the entire show (played by Meat Loaf) gets killed off as quickly as possible. Can't remember the plot but I'm sure he was gay as well.

Had to sit through that shit once and was bored out of my mind. No fan of musicals anyway, but that one was twice as painful to sit through.

He fucks a guy in the movie.

He fucked Rocky.
He sucked off Brad.
He fucked Janet (whore)

It was insinuated that he even had a piece of Meatloaf.
(That last bit was figurative AND literal. In the movie it is off-hand mentioned he and Meatloaf had a thing in the past. Also in the movie, Meatloaf is chopped up with a fire ax and served for dinner)

"Conservatism" has never ruled in Western Civilization. White Christianity did.

Conservatism was invented by William Buckley in the 20th century. Buckley was a sodomite infiltrator who managed to co-opt the right for decades. His ideology has never conserved a damn thing, by design.

There were quite a few subversive westerns from the mid 60s onwards. Hell, the near entirety of spaghetti westerns were subversive.

Sergio Corbucci made my favorite western, but he was a straight up commie and his films always had a very heavy handed left wing message.
