Here’s the problem with Avatar:

I served in the military. (Army 11B.) It was downright offensive to military people. It portrayed the military in the absolute WORST light, fantasy or not.

So, if I created a “fantasy” movie where Jesus was actually a raging homo and his twelve apostles were his gay harem, I would expect people to get offended. Any conservative who doesn’t see the plain anti-military message and *isn’t* offended by it, has had their brain addled by the stunning SFX.

Bear in mind, this is NOT the typical anti-military bias of “wars are bad, mmm’kay?” This is a message that says “*soldiers* and the military are subhuman apes.”

Lets enumerate a few examples:

1. LIBERAL MYTH: The protagonist is wounded so he can no longer walk. In a voice-over, he explains that the surgery to fix this problem is commonplace, but the stingy military wouldn’t pay. FACT: The military leads the way when it comes to prosthetics and spinal injury treatment, since they are common amongst soldiers. If there is a chance to make a soldier “whole” again, the military will usually try and make it happen.

2. LIBERAL MYTH: Our protagonist rolls off the transport in his wheelchair. Ex-soldier mercs look on derisively and say ‘What’s with ‘meals on wheels?’” FACT: All soldiers recognize a fellow solider who was wounded in combat. They treat these men with the utmost respect. They wouldn’t insult him - they would buy him a drink!

3. LIBERAL MYTH: The ex-soldier mercs are all painted as bloodthirsty maniacs who are itching for a battle. FACT: No one wants war LESS than a solider. When battle comes, the soldiers know that they will be on the front lines, away from their families, getting their limbs blown off while protesters are back home chanting inane crap like “no blood for oil!” Despite that, soldiers do recognize the just cause and are *ready* to fight for it, but - believe me - they don’t WANT it.

4. LIBERAL MYTH: The colonel (or whatever) running the show would just like to blow up the tree so he can get back to base in time for a hot breakfast. He sits back and sips coffee while giving the order to kill innocents. FACT: Uh... do I even need to address this? Sipping coffee while ordering the death of innocents? Liberals honestly DO believe that soldiers delight in the deaths of innocents. The men who dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki KNEW that *babies* would die in their attack. Do we think they DELIGHTED in that? Seriously disgusting.

And it goes on.

This is how Hollywood wins. They inject subversive messaging into their movies and everyone starts to assume, “Well, they are depicting the *way it is*.” In fact, it’s far from the truth. But the masses accept it.

Think of the movie “Crash.” People actually walked out of there thinking it was a meaningful portrayal of race relations in America. As a result, it fuels the meme that cops shoot black people for fun.

Sigh.
