I Am Interested In Politics

"Don't Be a Sucker" - A short film (3 minutes) from 1947, which warns against the rise of demagogues. We must remain vigilant of those who seek to divide us for their own political gain.

This is how I know leftists live in an echo chamber. You are like the 4th person I have seen promoting this piece of propaganda, a little known government film, made in 1947, yet somehow you all know about it.

@SumKindaMunster Here is something just for you - words of wisdom from Herman Munster.

"It doesn't matter what you look like. You can be tall or short, or fat or thin, or ugly or handsome....You can be black or yellow or white. It doesn't matter. What does matter is the size of your heart and the strength of your character."

@SumKindaMunster Not too long ago the message in that film would not have been considered right or left, just a statement of patriotic American ideals of democracy and freedom, and opposition to dictatorship and demagogues. If that makes me a leftist, then I wear the label proudly.

@badminton Love it!

@badminton Oh yes? So why did you post it?

@SumKindaMunster I believe it's a message that needs to be heard. I hope people will copy it and spread it far and wide.

@badminton Oh yeah? You think people need to be warned about demagogues and fascists eh?

Don't you think it is anachronistic and a little too "on the nose"?

People don't appreciate such obvious, heavy handed messages in this day and age in my estimation.
