This is a popular bit of wishcasting, you see it in both left and centrist-y versions, and it is absolutely not true. Populism is about identity and exclusion, it is not people lashing out because they secretly yearn for whatever your preferred economic policy is.

An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
This is so spot on

So no, this isnโt โZionist propaganda,โ this is a character flailing for a shred of dignity, grasping for the respect he *thinks* the world owes him.

Marty is a glory hound with a profound sense of entitlement. He is perpetually aggrieved at the world because his talent goes unrecognized. And he is undoubtedly talented, but he is also a thief and scoundrel (he steals that chunk of the pyramid!). He is dishonorable

Never mind this is something the average person living in a 50s Jewish ghetto would believe (and people today whose understanding of history comes solely from โThe Prince of Egyptโ), letโs ask ourselves: why is this scene in the movie? What does it say about Marty as a character?

For context, this is the scene in question that has sparked accusations of โZionist propagandaโ from the Everything Appโs greatest minds. An absolutely baby brained take.

If youโre claiming that a film is โZionist propagandaโ because itโs about Jewish characters and made by Jewish filmmakers, then I think youโre just being plainly anti-Semitic or youโre a fucking idiot (likely both)

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.
