GI Joe

Reagan-era propaganda for children.

After showing my ex (when we were like 20yo) the Transformers movie (which holds up and is awesome), we decided to rent the GI Joe movie. All the badies had foreign accents. The plot revolved around some type of energy crisis. I even remember a corporate slogan for Amex worked its way into the TV show: never leave home without it.

The people who made that show should be held accountable for propagandizing children.

@some_guy @southsamurai

I don't think most of that's propaganda. I think most of that is writers being lazy and inserting a few in-jokes for their own amusement.
