Good evening. Netflix, anyone? I have to say I am not familiar with any of the series discussed the the article below.

We Know What We Learn . . . From Television

I watched the Netflix series Guinness because I thought it was about three things I love: a successful business, European history, and beer. I was so offended by the series that I did my own research. The research revealed more about Netflix than anything else.

Around the year 375, B.C., in his dialectic writing known as The Republic, the philosopher Plato explained two things about education that we have forgotten today. The first is that for a republic to succeed, it must have an educated citizenship. He tied that to a second mandate. His republic would not allow people to teach children anything that would cause them to do something detrimental to the republic.

Today, we fail to educate our children properly while they are in school. Instead, we plunk them down in front of television and let Hollywood teach them lies and other things that are detrimental to our republic.

Let us return to Netflix’s Guinness. In the series, one of the brothers is a closet homosexual. Much of the series focuses on his homosexuality. Another brother has an extramarital affair and the third brother is an alcoholic. We searched every record we could find in Ireland and England and could not find anything to support any of those three claims. In fact, all three brothers appeared to be very successful and the brother Netflix claimed to be homosexual had children and a wife. There were at least three histories written about the Guinness family that we discovered. None of them reference any of the things Netflix claims to be true. If I was a member of the Guinness family, I would sue the living hell out of Netflix.

But Netflix’s crimes against humanity do not stop there. In Bridgerton, they also insert a homosexual string for one of the brothers and fornication for another. In that series they also implied that several members of the nobility and even Queen Charlotte were African. King George III might have been crazy but I don’t believe he married in African in the 19th century. Yet, many children today believe it because they learned it from Netflix.

I think the multiracial fiction was done to try to make the USA look more racist than we are. I wonder how those producers would feel if someone produced a series in which white actors were cast to play real black people. Remember, in truth, the USA is the least racist country in world history.

I really liked the first season of the popular new Netflix series, Nobody Wants This, but I also recognize that they had several homosexual themes in that series and the entire premise of the show is to undermine the traditional American family structure. Part of me was happy that their second season sucked.

Netflix also attacked the traditional American family structure in The Ranch. One of the four original stars of that show is now in prison in real life for multiple rapes. I wonder how he started believing that rape is acceptable?

That brings me to the most popular Netflix show ever, House of Cards. The hero in that show was a corrupt politician who committed several murders to become President. He made it look cool to push someone in front of a train. That now has become common in New York.

He and his wife did not let children interfere in their marriage. Their marriage also was open and included bisexual group sex. Abortion was encouraged throughout the show. They had to kill off the star of that show, Kevin Spacey, after he faced repeated charges of pedophilia in real life.

Nice environment in which Netflix operates. Zero morality. If the Chinese government wanted to produce a show to undermine Americans’ faith in our government leaders, it would have been this show verbatim.

Before you try to defend Netflix, take a stroll through their newest “releases.“ This month alone they have more Chinese movies than I thought existed. It makes it clear who is controlling that platform.

Apple is falling into similar vileness. Their most popular series ever, Ted Lasso, was doing fine until the third season when three roles somehow became homosexual and bisexual. They also promoted repeated one-night sexual encounters and only one role, just one, had a traditional family.

Apple’s newest hit, Stick, revolves around divorced, widowed, and disillusioned people living out of a Winnebago like it is a hippie commune. Again, I admit I love the show. But is it sending the right messages to the youngest generations?

The people running these platforms are not only anti-family, they are also lazy as hell. A season used to be half a year, 26 shows, maybe as few as 23. That is how the three American networks operated.

Today, both Netflix and Apple think a season is eight or 10 shows. Please don’t tell me the fifth season of Emily The Slut is coming when you have only produced 40 shows so far. It is only your third season at best.

Yes, I watched it, but only because she is Phil Collins’s daughter. I bet he is so proud of her jumping into every bed in Europe.

Compare these shows to Andy Griffith or Leave it to Beaver. I laugh just as much watching those shows as I do the new ones. Each of those shows has a “moral of the story” to reinforce American values. The producers of those shows must have read Plato‘s Republic.
