⬆️ Speak up Quack!! 😂

🎯 Take note: @KenBurns’ new six-part, 12-hour documentary The American Revolution opens with the same pull toward DEI messaging, identity politics, and a modern victimhood lens. And let’s be honest — this isn’t new. Burns has been criticized for years for injecting present-day ideological themes into historical storytelling. It showed up in The Vietnam War, the updated commentary on The Civil War, his Muhammad Ali series, and even The Roosevelts. The pattern is consistent: history filtered through a modern political framework instead of letting the era speak for itself. At this point, Ken Burns isn’t making documentaries. He’s manufacturing propaganda.

I'm not woke. But let me call you RACIST because you disagree with DEI is always a great own goal move.

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm stating as fact that describing the revolution through the lens of DEI/critical theory is the very foundation of wokism. As such the only interest I have in this documentary is to call it out for the cultural Marxist influenced crap that it is.

Saying you have concerns about the ridiculous idea of pushing the trans agenda on CHILDREN in SCHOOL means that you're scared. In fact anything that people disagree with me on = fear. - teef

🎯 It all boils down to this for the left: 1. White people are bad. That said, @ryangrim, the post isn’t about the validity, to whatever degree, of the things Ken Burns decided to include in the opening of the documentary. It’s about propaganda, which is always built around lies, half truths and truth, all carefully interwoven to create a narrative. Propaganda works by controlling the lens through which we see things. And for Ken Burns to frame the American Revolution in this way, right from the start, sets the stage for how the viewer interprets everything that comes after. So for example, the smallest amount of truth, like “the Iroquois had a confederacy” morphs into “it was used as a model for America” while leaving out the more important structural influences, including the very system of government used by Britain at the time. Or “Ben Franklin referenced the Iroquois in his writings” becomes “influenced,” while leaving out the far more influential thinkers that had an impact on all the founders. This combination of lies, half truths, truth, along with deliberate omissions, especially at the start of the documentary, are what make this propaganda.

The playbook has been in place for decades...

⬆️ Teef, Can't see Finding's post above. Can't see it if you, Roundy or Quack quotes him either. I will see it however if anyone not already on my ignore list quotes him. I've explained this several times now for Finding too. He doesn't get it either.

Teef, The word is tag. Tag. I can't tag anyone because Simon. I can quote away. I just can't see anything you post UNLESS someone quotes you. Maybe ask Simon to improve the ignore feature such that it includes quoted content and then I'll never see anything at all that you or the rest of your merry band of leftist morons posts. Finding has trouble grasping this concept as well.

Bills Douche....

Obama actually lying= I don't care. Trump hypothetically lying = crisis. Got it.

I'm above the fray!!!! - teef
