....how to recognize it.
The example is the Audi SuperBowl commercial, bemoaning how terrible America society is on girls and women. It advances a view of oppression of our gender that....as is true of so very many of the Left's memes.....doesn't exist.
But it is probably the reason so many air-heads actually accept the propaganda.
Dennis Prager's latest column really gets incensed over the Democrat/Liberal victimology strategy, and he makes really good points.
"What do I tell my daughter?
"Do I tell that her grandpa is worth more than her grandma?
"That her dad is worth more than her mom?
"Do I tell her that despite her education, her drive, her skills, her intelligence, she will automatically be valued as less than every man she ever meets?"

"If there was ever a more mendacious or socially destructive ad during the Super Bowl, let alone on television, I am unaware of it.
1. If there was ever a more mendacious or socially destructive ad during the Super Bowl, let alone on television, I am unaware of it.
2. ...the ad sent the false and debilitating message to every girl that being born in America is to be born oppressed and persecuted. "I am a woman, therefore I am a victim," it says.
3..... the ad sent a false and destructive view of America as a country in which Grandpa is worth more than Grandma, and Dad is worth more than Mom. It is an accusation that is so false as to constitute libel of American society.
4. ... the ad equates worth with income. ...This view is in keeping with the materialist view of life that has permeated the left since Karl Marx. On the left, the human being is an economic being. Period. Our worth is determined by our material state...... It is yet another destructive message sent by this ad to the young people watching the Super Bowl.
5. ...even from just a materialistic perspective, the ad is based on a lie. Women do not make less than men for the same work. And wage differences based on gender have been illegal for over 50 years.
....America is engaged in a culture war (now a civil war, ... it is a war in which only one side seems to be doing almost all of the fighting. The November presidential election suggests that this might finally be changing."
