Pre-Squidgame at least. Honestly Squidgame and The Boys are almost depressing in their existence because the fact that those shows exist and are produced (not cheaply by all accounts) under capitalist regimes shows how seriously they actually view the danger of any sort of leftist movement. Its like a cruel joke.
Eh, I think some of this is that these corporations aren’t really fun by “capitalists”, they capitalists are off playing golf and getting blowjobs in private jets. The media corps they own are run by armies of clout chasing dorks who I don’t think really consider the implications of the things they green light, they just see something is popular and fund anything similar/related to it. Even if a piece of media actually did contain the potential to radicalize a lot of people, if focus testing says it’ll make a short term profit, the corporate machine will probably make it.
Well I mean leftist movements not being even in the zip code of a legitmate threat to capital in the west is not exactly a hot take. More like an objective read of reality.
