> Parents like to see themselves as purveyors of possibility. We want our children to inhabit a world in which identities are both mutable and equal, and imagination and empathy reign supreme!
> But young children, as dictated by their tastes in popular culture, have something else in mind. They're drawn to worlds in which identities are fixed, order trumps imagination and transgressions are met with routine punishment.
> This clash between what parents desire for their children and what children desire for themselves is most easily observable in cartoon preferences. So often, the more parents dislike a show, the more their children love it.
> Two of the most divisive shows are "Thomas the Tank Engine" and "Paw Patrol," both of which have been eviscerated by grown-ups on discussion boards, in social media and in widely shared essays in prestigious publications.
And people wonder why many brand CNN as fake news.
And here I thought the diesel engines in this show are fascist!

When do we revert back to natural selection, again? Anyone who sees Thomas the Tank Engine as fascism is a fucking lunatic.

My nephew, four, loves this show. Has since he was two. I knew the kid was fucking based.

Everyone: this is a PERFECT redpilling moment. Show this to your parents, your grandparents at christmas, your girlfriend, your liberal friends
Don't connect it to trump, or jews, or fake news or anything else. Let people come to their own conclusions
They may not make any huge mind-altering realizations, but the seeds of doubt will be planted in their minds. They will begin to distrust the media and accusations of fascism
