quote:

Hassler-Forest claimed that the very fact that there is a lion king, is a problem. It means there is a whole strata of animal subjects under his rule, and that is just not ok. On Wednesday, the world’s biggest Negative Nancy wrote, “But as nostalgic as ‘Circle of Life’ may make us feel, this bombastic scene is also a painful reminder of the film’s ideological agenda: It introduces us to a society where the weak have learned to worship at the feet of the strong.”
quote:

He continued, saying that “‘The Lion King’ offers us a seductive worldview in which absolute power goes unquestioned, and where the weak and the vulnerable are fundamentally inferior.” In the budding socialist, all-inclusive culture that our author seems to want so bad, the fact that Simba or Mufasa have any authority is a no-go. Forget the fact that their peaceful stewardship of Pride Rock is the only thing that keeps the hyenas at bay.

As I said on the MTV Board:

Let me get this straight:

Mufasa: we live in a delicate balance and everyone contributes. We all live together in harmony and everyone can be happy. It's hard work for everyone big and small but it's worth it. Even those in power must keep the little people in mind and we all play an important role in the circle of life.

Scar: frick you. And frick your hard work system. I'm going to kill you and your kid and then I'm going to take all your shite and give it to the free loading hyenas and once it's all gone we'll all die due to greed, lust, and ignorance.

SJW Blogger: Scar was a great character. His philosophy is so wonderful he was just misunderstood and vilianized by Disney. and Mufasa was an a-hole. Mufassa represents white privilege and scar is the plight of the gold hearted socialists

The literal theme of the entire movie is Symba questioning power and then scar taking power and then symba challenging him and taking the power back.

The weak are weaker but not unequal. That's an important thing to understand.

They said that shite with the animated version in '94, too. And this is without "Be Prepared" in the new bastardization.

That's interesting since Beyonce, Jay-Z and Meghan Markle are all set to attend the premiere in London. Hmmm!

This is a weak low T guy, more than likely, who looks like the pajama wearing cuck in the Obamacare memes or a liberal woman that hates her daddy.
