TOON TOWN, CA

I think this clip sums up how most people view recent history. Which is no surprise, they have been students of Hollywood for a century now. The fact is that, whether you realize it or not, the silver screen has been the source of much of our thinking. And since the days of Reagan and McCarthy, Hollywood has pushed Marxist themes in most of its movies.

Here decades of history are condensed into the maniacal workings of an evil toon genius. An earth worshiping elitist has become disenchanted with the modern concrete world of interstates and gas stations, and so he invents a narrative of a top down evil business, oriented towards destroying the utopian Toon Town, which is more or less a metaphor for a romantic days-gone-by ideal. It might be considered a joke if it were not the most common narrative in the movies these days. 3:10 to Yuma astonishingly transforms the life blood of the west, the railroad, into an evil corporation seizing land. Harrison Ford’s version of Sabrina, transforms an older version’s CEO from a responsible steward of the shareholders’ money into a greedy profit seeking soulless machine.

In reality the Interstate Highway System was the result of the post-war can-do American spirit. I will grant that it was driven by a sort of modern humanism and a certain we’re #1 bravado. Worship of man’s achievements is the worship of a false god, and America worshiped whole heartedly. But the fact remains that the automobile was an attainable mark of freedom. And, America wanted roads to drive them on. Millions of little decisions, people voting with their wallets, lead to the creation of this system.

Further, this thinking is not limited to highways. It is the way most people view many staples of our modern world. Big Agriculture, Big Food, Big Medicine, Big Pharmaceutical, and even Big Government are viewed the same way. But the fact is that the American people got what they wanted. None of these institutions would have amounted to anything, had they not provided goods or services that the people wanted, better than competitors. But, because we don’t like some of the fruits of fanatical modernism, we have to go back and change the history to attack those we don’t happen to like today. And Hollywood had been successful in doing just that.

We foolishly think that because we read it on a blog, that we came up with it ourselves. But we have been trained and are continually trained by our government schools, liberal media, and liberal Hollywood, in very deep ways. We need to take every thought captive. We need to be as discerning as serpents. Movies are not just entertainment, they affect the core of our thinking. And most seek to do it for the worse. So next time you go to the movies take your brain think hard about what you are being taught.
