  1. All this is consequence of the plan of one Antonio Gramsci. The pursuit of political power using "cultural hegemony" (his plan, not mine). The key here is "hegemony", after taking over universities and schools, newspapers, newscasts and books, they took over the entertainment. Hollywood became preachy because pushing the "message" became it's goal. Entertainers have crossed over into politics several times and in different places (Ronald Reagan, Pele, Joseph Estrada), and many politicians have crossed over into "stardom" (Clinton). What is new is the full on transformation of politics into entertainment/soap opera . The ideas are not debated, all it matters is the shallow tit-for-tat of tearing the state of the union report, or scoring viral tweets. Shallow, short attention span citizens do not read or dedicate time to dense political platforms. They want to vote like consumers, and bling is the only thing the current voter values. As long as that is the case, they will keep eating hollywood crap as "inspiration" . The republic and it's institutions fail, becuase the citizen is not up to the task.

  2. I will add to this that governments shipping people from Kansas to Montecassino, or from London to Burma, made a LOT of people aware of what the world had to offer. They couldn't put the genie back in the bottle.
