FOX attacks The Lorax for "indoctrinating" our children towards sustainability, environmentalism., page 1

Just when you think the faux-conservative clown show known as FOX can't get any more pathetic, they find another way to raise the bar.


Now Lou Dobbs is going after "liberal agenda" children's movies like The Lorax that clearly pollute young minds with "anti-industrialist" propaganda. I like how he ties the whole thing into Obama's agenda, even though one of the movies is Japanese and the actual story for the other was written by (that Nazi Socialist rhetoric machine) Dr. Seuss over 40 years ago.

Clearly this is just another orchestrated attack on Capitalism. My favorite is the one guest who claims Hollywood is deliberately trying to create a new generation of "Occu-toddlers" (lol).

Anyway, see for yourselfs:




...FOX trying to lecture anyone about "indoctrination" has got to be the very definition of irony.

It also occurs to me that this post will probably draw out the predictable damage con-troll responses from the FOX News fanclub that lurks around every corner of ATS these days.

So all I'm gonna say in response to that is this:

If you're genuinely here because you're interested in conspiracy theories and denying ignorance and all that good stuff (i.e. you're not just a sock-puppet drone), and you honestly can't see how this kind of moronic hyperbole from FOX is just brainwashing intended to breed an army of useful idiots. An army who stands for nothing but greed and plutocracy while pretending to give a flying **** about prosperity or jobs or your freedoms and liberties. If you can't see that - then please watch and comment on these videos instead:

Zeitgeist Addendum:




The Story of Your Enslavement:




The Story of Stuff:




Pyramids of Waste:



Collapse:




These are the sort of ATS-style "indoctrination" videos that lay the whole true conspiracy out in no uncertain terms. This is not about lazy liberal hippies trying to destroy freedom and leech off the system. This is about reality. This is about the fact that the system is fundamentally broken, hijacked and unsustainable. By the very laws of nature it absolutely CANNOT maintain itself at this rate - both economically and environmentally.

We are seeing it collapse more and more every day in front of our very eyes, and yet these elitist shill-wads want you to keep defending it and rushing to its rescue because THEY are getting fantastically wealthy off things the way they are now. They're doing nothing but stirring up the most paranoid sentiments in people and keeping them from seeing the plain ugly truth because it happens to require the slightest shred of critical thinking instead.

If that's too hard for you to see this way, then yeah - maybe go watch/read The Lorax, and take the emotional route. Just have the courage to look at and analyze and think about everything they are so obviously desperate to try and make you avoid.

Imagine that. One mindset that is trying to force their beliefs on others and wants to shut up anyone not in lock-step, complaining about another group who wants to do pretty much the same thing.

Truth be known the Far Left and the Far Right are pretty much the same people.

That was so incredibly stupid that I couldn't finish watching it.


The first guest essentially said "You should be taking an active part in parenting, but if you're going to let your kid see this movie then you're a bad parent because I don't agree with the movie."

Really?

Let me get this straight. We're teaching children (through movies) the evils of industrial pollution, which is almost entirely based in fact, and FOX is whining about it?

I see the priorities here.

Why is it you automatically have to degrade this to some ridiculous far-left vs far-right thing? Issues of sustainability and environmental responsibility should be all about common sense and not politics.


This is exactly the sort of polemic nonsense FOX tries to drown the conversation in.

Whoa! The weird thing about that quote is it could almost be used to describe watching FOX, except replace "laugh at" with "shut yourself off from, in a cocoon of absurd paranoia and hyperbole"

I'd rather my kids grow up to understand the truth and not live in a fantasy world of lies and believe that the pharmaceutical companies with their mood altering drugs are the answer for coping with all the lies, BS, and inconsistencies that we are bombarded with.

I would rather face the truth and learn and grow from it, than isolat myself in a fantasy world believing everything will be okay, because it is not! That is what they want, mindless sheeple, zombies if you will... all the while we have environmental and human injustices happening which we do nothing about. Apathy, laziness and ignorance have little value in combatin those who would rather seek and destroy all in their path in order to maintain and increase their personal gain.

I guess you could put it that way.
The original is shorter, darker and makes a very strong point, without the over the top, dumbed down extras.
