a thread about kidnapping Muslim children from their families in Sweden and force them to live among Swedish families where they are being forced to leave their Islamic culture and being abused by such families.. pic.twitter.com/59Dvtq5H9Q— مصري شيوعي ☭ (@sarhanabdelbsir) February 6, 2022
Now I know how they could craft such a story about China
I only seen the movie, but I do seem to recall it being much darker and more mean about society than contemporary children's movies of it's time. Doesn't she have a fortune explicitly based on colonial exploitation that allows he the freedom to be herself in the face of socities dictates?
Unlike most other children's literature it is pretty up front about the colonial stuff. Her dad who is a sailor and a king in "the South Sea" gave her a chest of gold coins, enabling her to live by herself in a house with a horse and a monkey. But on the other hand Pippi beats up cops who wants to haul her to foster care and challenges expectations of what girls can and can't do so the story has some good parts as well.
So my analysis that she explicitly uses wealth stolen from the global south to fund her idillic existence free from normative alienation is not without merit then.
