Was recently thinking this a character trait for a NPC. A cynic that was heroic but now just goes thru the motions because somewhere along the way he realized that the poor and oppressed are not good people and the only reason they aren't horrible and self-serving is they lack the opportunity. Once the poor come in to power they would be the same or worse then the tyrant the NPC disposed.
Church going Orthodox Christians are very conservative but there is a lot of non-practicing that are very much anti-Christian but would still consider themselves Orthodox Christians, mostly because their parents made them go to church as a child. However they rarely have any depictions of Jesus, crosses or praying beads. I'm friends with some of those, they will go as far as blame the priests of being pedos despite not having anything to do with Catholicism and you have to be married to be able to be an Orthodox Priest - so a lot less gays.
The left is going to pretend they have been defending the status quo? The ones that wanted a revolution to dismantle capitalism? That moved from color blindness because it was racist to actual racism? The ones that wanted propaganda and to remove free speech? The ones that called the constitution a living organism that needs to be reinterpreted when ever the left feels like it? The ones that wanted to replace the white population?
How? In what world?
Winter Soldier is also based. There is a monologue about how Hydra used force back in ww2 to control the world and that did not work so now they are using fear as they found out that people will gladly give away their freedom for safety.
Not sure if we can consider it non-political but Firefly/Serenity is all about not bowing down to government and that the government will use propaganda and force to keep control. Simon is the one character that is being overlooked, he gave up everything to save his sister from the government but still thinks the rebels as uncultured savages and his arc is learning to appreciate freedom.
I have a friend that is Moroccan and he has an extremely bad opinion of Moroccans. His stories from his homeland are wild.
