I think it’s a very nuanced complex set of issues that no one on social media has a real grasp on… we are really only being shown so much from both sides… we can be against Hamas and Israel but be pro civilian… it’s a nuanced, challenging issue, that takes a lot of intellect and understanding that there is no good guy, bad guy in this. Both governments suck here, not the victims dying at their hands.
If their movies from that era weren’t a good enough insight…
John Wayne was a racist sexist POS and it shows in all his Westerns . Most mobster movies objectified a specific group as less than… while glorified another… even though their actions were just as messed up.
women and people of color were on the bottom barrel of being treated decently in these movies… How many scenes are there of men slapping a woman and then passionately kissing her as she hits him to stop…but it does nothing to him and she suddenly succumbs to his ‘charm’. it was a popular trope…
But I am sure those were only movies and not indicative of how white men actually viewed life. Its not like they were trying to capture an audience in relevancy
