Honestly though, I have always found it so interesting why liberals are so obsessed with using STORIES to compare with real issues.
“Oh my god guys this is literally Handmaid’s Tale, Putler is so Voldemort lol, Zelenskyy Iron man!!!”
Like, cool, there are parallels. We get it. There are real, material consequences for these things that are happening, though, so stop looking at it like a fucking movie or show.
My best guess is actually some form of Peter-Pan-syndrome.
There‘s this certain sweet spot in ways of class/income (middle class), socialization (predominantly western) and age (mostly the generation born in the 00s). Those people experienced very little fundamental struggle growing up, but are now „adults“ who have to be responsible for themselves in seemingly dire times. Thus, in a lack of good ways of dealing with the current situation, the develop this unhealthy coping mechanism by obsessing over pop culture.
Because the world in their movies/shows/games/anime/etc. is ordered, clearly black-vs-white and eventually the „good guys“ will remain victorious.
Why do libs use Star Wars and Star Trek in their propaganda? Do they know what it represents?
Like get your bloody hands off of them, go back at Harry Potter or some other lib shit you use to compare it to irl events and politics!!!

yep, and that is why I think they feel this irresistible urge to point these things out. It’s a way to will things into existence for them
Millenia of christian theology did it to them. They have to use fairy tale reference or else the discussion feel somehow less real to them.
