I like to think that everyone shitty on the Left is just a troll account created and maintained by Barron Trump, attempting to use his mammoth brain to make centrists vote Daddy 2020. Because if these people actually exist, and have these strange opinions that so many people supposedly might have, then I'll have to actually vote for Daddy, given he's the option most likely to put these fucking people in camps.
But I'm wise to you, Barron: you'll never actually make me vote.
Sure, I’m cringey because I think adult males should work and start families and fill up their time with better things than watching little girl pony shows.
They watched enough to discuss specific episodes. They hate themselves so watching the show while bashing it for imaginary stuff is in their wheel house.
People talk about paw patrol being fashy all the time and it's not as bad of an offender. People also talk about some shows being good easiest example being Steven Universe. All art is propaganda, mate.
So there's an entire community out there people acting like u/masterlawlz except in complete sincerity. And they're sure they're gonna conquer the world.
The one thing in this fever dream that I can agree with though is that MLP gets away with a lot that other shows wouldn't because it's for girls. God forbid boys ever get to see violence, but it's okay if a unicorn fucks somebody up with her horn.
The article operates under the viewpoint that following a strict hierarchy and system of order and rank (like the tiny puppies of paw patrol to their human master or thomas the tank engine and the fat capitalist owner guy) is in itself an expression of fascism
Eh, I've always seen ants as the perfect communists/Stalinists. Everything they do is in the interest of the collective/state and with no care for the individual.
Though when you strip away the ideology and reduce the citizens to mindless robots (ants) communism and fascism are the same, it's all about putting the state/collective above the individual and distributing resources centrally in the broader interest of that collective. Since the colony has no ideology they can't make such pointless ideological distinctions, they're just programmed to do it, and at the end of the day the result is both a perfect fascist and communist society all at the same time.
Truly radical centrism!
Ants prove horseshoe theory, fight me!!
But can you have ultimate libertarian freedom and/or anarchy when the citizenry doesn't have the higher thought processes to even possess free will? They also serve a central authority (the queen) as their sole purpose and goal in life, the queen who's survival represents the survival of the state/collective.
libertarianism and anarchy are impossible without free-will IMO
My favorite part is when the author finally exposes him/her/xirself as a radical femcel and states that the hierarchy/fascistic system would be alright if they replaced the white male main characters with femoids.
The Railway series books are clearly written from a mid 20th century conservative British viewpoint, and the early television show retains this.
*The steamies represent the hardworking, native British worker
*The diesels are lazy, dirty foreigners
*Henry requires a (((special diet))) and functions poorly, but eventually is rebuilt/assimilates and is able to eat normal coal and fit in with the other engines
*The professed ideal is to respect your betters and work cheerfully and without complaint
*One of the early books (Trooublesome engines) is pretty clearly commentary on the labor disputes that were happening in British Railways at the time
All children should be forced to watch it, so that they realize that "being useful" is the loftiest goal a commoner can strive for.
So, apparently there's a two-part episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic which many people have interpreted as being full of symbolism alluding to socialism. If you want to read the synopsis on MLP wiki, here it is:
There was an episode where Francine and Muffy literally spent all summer digging a massive hole trying to get to China. Then summer ended and they had to fill it back up. Arthur correctly pointed out that this was a huge waste of time and the rest of the episode was proving why he was wrong.

I've said it before, but you gotta feel bad for the chapo hosts. They wanted to start a cool, counter-cultural podcast and somehow they ended up attracted the biggest losers imaginable.
These are the Chapo dorks. I don't know why but I was expecting more San Fran hypogonadal nu-male and not rejects from the nearest Magic the Gathering sweat lodge. I can smell the male feminist stench of desperation from here.
Can't believe these dirty fucks were able to convince tankies and champaigne socialists to give them over a million dollars a year. What a hustle.
Its why they are so mad at Jordan Peterson they made feminism so they could get all the fatherless incels to buy their book and listen to their lectures. And he took like almost half of the spoils of the inevitable outcome of their failed ideology. Those where supposed to be their incels not his dammit.
Don’t feel bad for them. They apologized for the bill Cosby rape joke and gave money to RAINN. imagine that, a chapo host cucking out and having no balls
\ > when discussing the revolution that’ll never happen decides they shouldn’t get guns because they’re all mentally ill and would end up killing themselves first.
Not nationalist, since it's made up of three separate races mixed together. The closest real-world analogue would probably be something like Brazilian Integralism. To reinforce this, they're ruled by a Goddess-Empress, so you've got a subtext of church-state integration as well.
Well whether you consider them races or sub-races (I would consider them more analogues for the aristocratic, military, and working classes), their society seems highly separated, and based on each individual fulfilling a role given to them.
There would be little place for an outsider who wasn’t immediately useful. And it’s even in the name, Equestria, the land is built to serve the interest of Equestrians.
MLP from S5 onwards is literally them visiting other lands/species and overthrowing or 'influencing' nations that don't follow the friendship ideology (coded as a free trade/liberal cosmopolitanism). They overthrow a town that is strawmanned Marxism, and help support a changeling dissident who ends up dethroning his queen and creating a govt that is amenable to the 'good' nation. There's no mass warfare in the latter situation either, despite the changelings having thousands of warriors trained to distrust outsiders. Seems like an idealised Iraq in the eyes of neocons.
Even in less major cases, there's a clear strain of 'uplifting' backwards and xenophobic nations by opening up trade and preaching your values to them, cf. the yaks and griffons.
And oh lord let's not forget the dragons (the ponies' dragon helps 'install' a dragon leader who is amenable to friendship and Equestria). Thorax is basically Spike & Ember elided into the same character and applied to a different species & that species' government. Both happened within the same season, so there's definitely a trend.
The show's ideology seems to elide religious missionaries and neoliberal trade-ecumenism.
EDIT: Re: the Marxism town, it's portrayed as wilting and desolate, whereas later on (after the change) it's prosperous and extending trade tendrils to the rest of Equestria. It'll be interesting to know what the show writers think about Iran and North Korea, hmm...
By shitting on the Starlight Glimmer episodes and unironically saying she did nothing wrong, they officially become exactly the type of people those two episodes were meant to warn against, the people who say "screw individual freedom, talents, free will and happiness if that means literal equality."
The only thing I can think of worse than being a brony is being somebody who would be a brony but refuses to watch the show because you think the show is fascist
