News Brief: We Review TV's Fashy Fall Lineup
Added 2017-09-17 11:00:31 +0000 UTCOn this Patreon subscriber-only News Brief we take time out to mock the surge in new military-themed television shows premiering this fall and their played out tropes, including, but not limited to:
1) The Good Snitch Muslim
2) Techno-porn
3) Imperial feminism
4) Highlighting sacrifices of U.S. troops while ignoring those being occupied and bombed
5) Abercrombie models-turned-kick ass killing machines who are also mysteriously woke
The shows we mocked are as follows:
Valor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMYd4XV9kQQ
The Brave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfMJI9RFTSU
Long Road Home http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/the-long-road-home/videos/the-long-road-home-trailer/

Killing Hope, by William Blum is quite good, albeit depressing.
2017-09-28 16:07:50 +0000 UTCYou guys should try to see American Assassin (without paying for it if possible) it seems from what I have read and heard as explicit Anti Iran Deal propaganda in a very overt way.
2017-09-26 11:25:50 +0000 UTCAs someone starting a lefty book club, what is a good book antidote for all of this?
