Cartoon Propoganda, the good old days
A good series of posts at IMAO on those old cartoons that used to tell us to support our country in time of war.
Capitalist Propoganda: this post has a good roundup of what we learn from this cartoon.
Part of fighting a war is mocking, belittling, and dehumanizing your enemy. Then you kill him. Assuming, of course, your goal is victory.
Someone who spreads enemy propaganda to Americans during a time of war is not a friend, even if they mix in peppy dance music with their lies.
Purchasing government debt (i.e. War Bonds) is ok if the money will be spent on killing people who threaten to destroy our nation.
Cash, fancy clothes and a spiffy new car are GOOD things to have, and not something to be cursed as the vices of a greedy, materialistic society.
Oh, and pretty girls have curves.
Go check out the rest of the series. Anyone who is a fan of old cartoons will like it for sure. It is a pretty good contrast to the constant “we’re the bad guys” that we get today.
