Things have not gotten more political, folks have been tuned into a positions over interests mindset. Where commentary in literature and/or cinema and television used to be discussed from multiple perspectives, has now been turned into a zero-sum game. For example, I read numerous complaints about Star Trek Discovery having "an agenda." I watched it myself and some scenes are definitely constructed in a political manner, but that doesn't mean the purpose of the show is to lean into a particular set of politics. Though, many folks have been convinced it is and wont even watch for themselves. Unlike, the ST of the 60's, 70's, 80's 90's where folks would watch if they liked it, and talk about the context of the actual writing from a critical theory aspect.</p></blockquote><p></p>
