The benevolent dictator in the model of the Emperor. Or a chairman Mao perhaps. The Great Helmsman who knows what is best for everyone.

This looks like regurgitation of the old “heavy metal makes satanists” theory.

“author is resolving his cognitive dissonance by projecting onto ‘red’ states.”

Nope. Homicides are higher on average in red states.

Fetishization of power, violence and lust and then stylized recoil from them are core Progressive tropes. They are boundary-testing children at heart.

See my arguments earlier in the week about the essential left-wing nature of many superhero tales in the comics. I remain convinced that when you look at these things as being the creations of their ids, well… The whole thing is fairly clear.

And, contrast if you will the nature of G.R.R. Martin’s work, compared to J.R.R. Tolkien (think that there’s something unusual there, with his choice of pen name, perhaps?). When I get done reading Martin, I want to take a long shower to get the filth off. I read Tolkien, and I’m uplifted. Huge difference in what the two authors evoke in your spirit.

Martin is a creature of the left, and you can feel the filth in his mind as an almost palpable force, when you read his works. It’s not for nothing that his nickname in some circles is George Rape-Rape Martin.

Liberals want to believe they’re born upper-caste, leaders and saviors of humanity, naturally too noble for their own good. That’s their central myth. That’s why they love Harry Potter too, I suppose.

“These shows [The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad] invite liberal viewers into various illiberal or pre-liberal or just, I suppose, red-state worlds, which are more violent and sexist and id-driven than polite prestige-TV-viewing liberal society…”

As I recall, the violence we’ve seen in the streets has been all liberals or leftist since last November. Higher rates of gun violence exist in liberal Democrat-run cities like Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, etc.

The author is resolving his cognitive dissonance by projecting onto ‘red’ states.
