I personally don’t really want to watch another movie about a billionaire – unless he is in some sort of trap

        I remember one line in the good doctor that went something along the lines of

        “We treat the super wealthy with whatever they want so we can treat the poor with what they need”

        I don’t live in the US and even I knew that line was complete BS

          SG1 was like… One of the first shows I watched from start to finish. I now cannot, it is so blatantly a centrist lib being like “I wish the US military was like this”.

          i love SG1 but the propaganda aspect does get noticeably worse over the course of the show
