Disney’s “The Lion King” Is Fascist, Apparently

7/15/2019

In a world where nothing is sacred and a very privileged group of people search high and low for things that will offend them, one Washington Post columnist named Dan Hassler-Forest will find one of Disney’s beloved classics, “The Lion King”, to be nothing more than fascistic propaganda meant to brainwash your children into believing people are different and there are people who are better than you.
 
Seriously, does the Left ever take a break in looking for things to be offended by? There just about isn’t anything in this world that they don’t find some sort of offense to. Be it the flag, people’s names, people’s actions, or even a Disney movie from 1994 about THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
 

Hassler-Forest likely has seen that Disney, who are likely running out of original ideas, is soon going to release a live-action remake of the beloved classic “The Lion King”, starring Donald Glover and Beyonce as Simba and Nala respectively and finds the entire concept of a “lion king” to be akin to fascistic rule.
 
The title of his piece is: “’The Lion King’ is a fascistic story. No remake can change that.” So right off the bat this guy sounds super triggered (offended/annoyed, for the non-Millennials out there). His subhead reads: “No matter how you look at it, this is a film that introduces us to a society where the weak have learned to worship at the feet of the strong.”
 
And the actual body of the article isn’t much better. He writes: “… But as nostalgic as ‘Circle of Life’ may make us feel, this bombastic scene is also a painful reminder of the film’s ideological agenda: It introduces us to a society where the weak have learned to worship at the feet of the strong.”
 
“As we watch the herbivores congregate to bow down before their newborn ruler, ‘The Lion King’ offers us a seductive worldview in which absolute power goes unquestioned, and where the weak and the vulnerable are fundamentally inferior. In other words: ‘The Lion King’ offers us fascist ideology writ large, and there seems to be no way out for the forthcoming remake.”
 
Gee, I wonder why a movie about the animal kingdom depicts a “society” where the strong rule and the weak die. Hmmm.
 
Later down the article, Hassler-Forest attacks Disney as being “obsessed” with patriarchal monarchies and compares Pride Rock to Trump Tower, what he views as a symbol of power that looks down on “society’s weaker groups”.
 
But beyond the “class warfare” that he believes is seen throughout the movie, the out-of-his-mind Leftist also has to bring in racism into the mix, because we cannot go a single day without being reminded with a hammer that racism exists and white people are bad (and virtually no one on the Left will recognize the irony of such a statement).
 
“With the lions standing in for the ruling class and the ‘good’ herbivores embodying society’s decent, law-abiding citizens, the hyenas transparently represent the black, brown, and disabled bodies that are forcefully excluded from this fascist society. Noticeably marked by their ethnically coded ‘street’ accents, the hyenas blatantly symbolize racist and anti-Semitic stereotypes of ‘verminous’ groups that form an inherent threat to society.”
 
Yes, the hyenas who are very clearly mentally unstable and side with the only actual representation of a fascist ruler in the entire movie, Scar, are the victims in all of this.
 

I wonder what this guy thinks of mental asylums, then. Does that represent a fascistic rule in any country that has them (aka all of them)?
 
But beyond that, I wonder what he would think of, oh, I don’t know, THE ACTUAL ANIMAL KINGDOM WHERE THE STRONG SURVIVE AND THE WEAK DIE!
 
The biggest irony, in my opinion, regarding this garbage and unnecessary hit-piece on the movie is that they try and paint Mufasa, an honestly benevolent ruler who seeks balance and equality in his kingdom and who obviously cares about his subjects, as the bad guy just because he is a ruler in the first place.
 
Does he not know that in reality, lions hunt every single day? And that those herbivores are literally a lion’s meal every day? Does he not know that lions are carnivores, as in they will eat meat? And it’s not like they can just go to their local Chick-fil-a. They have to hunt those other animals themselves, so to say Mufasa is in any way a bad guy is asinine, to say the least.
 
Look, I’m not a big fan of Disney, certainly not anymore. Considering their often Left-wing tendencies and their attempt to follow the woke crowd by putting LGBT characters in their recent film, I’m not going to be their biggest defender. But when it comes to utterly idiotic arguments like the ones being made by this MSM writer, what else can I do?
 
This just goes to show how out of touch with reality these people are. Even beyond trying to defend the movie, I’m trying to defend REALITY. Because in reality, the lions are far more fierce and ruthless than Mufasa and Simba and every other lion in the pride.
 
In reality, all the herbivores that “worship” at the feet of the Lion King, be it Mufasa, Simba or Scar, are nothing more than lions’ lunch. Why? Because that’s how NATURE works. For a group of people that tend to believe in the theory of evolution over creation, they often have a problem with the concept of natural selection, wherein superior species thrive over inferior ones.
 
Lions are predators and zebras (and other animals lions eat) are prey. That indicates natural superiority. Lions have sharp teeth and nails, a powerful bite, and great speed and natural camo to hunt and kill their prey. As a result, they are physically superior to, say, zebras, who are herbivores and have no actual defense mechanism against predators apart from speed and numbers.
 
Watch any nature documentary of a lion hunting something and what you will notice each and every time is the prey being in massive numbers to ensure their own safety and will always run away from their predator. That’s not fascism; it’s nature.
 

But one big final point I wish to make is just how awful such a constant use of the word “fascist” is for the actual meaning of the word. People like Hassler-Forest have no actual idea as to what that word means if they think THE LION KING is about fascism.
 
Fascism is virtually no different from socialism and communism. Benito Mussolini simply said that fascism was a more “perfect” or “advanced” form of communism (though I don’t see how it’s in any way different, let alone more “advanced”). Just because there is a hierarchy that doesn’t automatically mean there is fascism at play.
 
There is a hierarchy in just about everything. Companies are hierarchical. Churches are hierarchical. Sports teams are hierarchical. Even friend groups are usually hierarchical, with at least one clear leader. Order is not the same thing as fascism.
 
And the constant butchering of the word to define anything someone doesn’t like utterly takes away any meaning of the word to the point it becomes passé. When someone says that something that isn’t fascistic is fascistic, I can’t help but roll my eyes at the sheer stupidity of such an argument.
 
But the saddest part may come in the actual individual. The Lion King’s live-action remake will come out some time in late July. It’s virtually no different from the original which, as I’ve said before, is a beloved classic. For someone to get themselves to write something so stupid and negative about a CHILDREN’S MOVIE THAT DEPICTS THE ANIMAL KINGDOM TO CERTAIN EXTENTS is indicative of an individual who really cannot find any sort of pleasure in life.
 

People like him, those who seek for the negative things of everything, and even go so far as to make stuff up and demonstrate outrage (be it fake or real), are people who are devoid of joy, and that’s truly sad.
 
Hassler-Forest isn’t nuanced for “pointing out fascistic tendencies” in a children’s movie that came out 25 year ago. He is sad for going to such lengths as to not find joy in a beloved children’s movie and seek to ruin the fun for everyone else by smearing it as some sort of fascistic propaganda.
 
And while I often say that everyone needs Jesus, it’s people like him that need Him a good deal. Not being able to enjoy a children’s movie and then writing an entire article on a major “news” site giving his opinion about how it’s some sort of fascistic dream so that other people might think negatively of the movie as he does is outright depressing, bordering on sociopathic.
 
I would hate to live my life devoid of joy and seeking to ruin the fun for others just because I myself am incapable of finding joy. And again, it’s people like him that really need the Lord.
 
There really is absolutely no reason to smear a CHILDREN’S MOVIE in this way, especially if the movie doesn’t deserve it. What “The Lion King” represents is a sort of anthropomorphized society in the animal kingdom where there is a lion monarch who rules his kingdom as any human would. A story of a grown lion king teaching his new son, the prince who will be king one day, how to rule his kingdom once he comes of age and becomes the head of the pride. A story where said prince witnesses his father’s demise and an evil (and actually fascistic) ruler who couldn’t care less about himself literally deprives that kingdom of life in his short rule until he is toppled by a now-grown prince, who had escaped the kingdom fearing for his own life.
 
Apart from the time that Scar, the literal bad guy of the story, rules the kingdom, you’d be hard-pressed to find any semblance of actual fascism in the story. Because there really is none, but that certainly didn’t keep this guy from attempting to find some sort of connection to it and display to the world just how much he doesn’t like fascism (though I’m willing to bet he describes himself as socialist and will not understand that there’s no difference between the two).
 
To make a long article short: no, “The Lion King” is not fascistic propaganda. It’s just a monarchy displayed using animals. No need to take the joy out of everything, woke Leftists.
 
Proverbs 1:7
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

As much as I loved the original movie as a kid and think that the remake will suck, it's quite amazing how such a far-left journalist would make a big fuss over a family film produced by a far-left corporation. How ironic...

I'm a right-wing conservative and even I found The Lion King to be very offensive, mainly how it portrays the animals, especially the hyenas.

Spotted hyenas as a species have been very overused as villains in myths and popular culture, and The Lion King just portrays them as something much worse. Not only the hyenas in The Lion King are villains, but they're stupid, dim-witted henchmen which is not an appropriate role for the species.

If you know your facts on animals, you will see that the hyenas are one of the few "girl power" species, which is unique and rare in mammals, and to see such an amazing species being represented by villainous dimwits just hurts my poor heart and brain.

The fact that the whole Lion King film franchise generated a horrible cult phenomenon of brain-dead fans who draw bad fanart, trace and recolor other people's art and write terrible fanfiction. They even draw and write characters from other media as Lion King characters, and even crossover pair them up with characters that aren't even from the films, and that's wrong. Non-Lion King protagonists will never be allies with Simba and company, Non-Lion King antagonists will never be allies with Scar and his hyena henchmen, and that's that.

This toxic cult of a fandom is one of the reasons why The Lion King is overpraised, overrated, underhated and horribly outshadows everything else. It is the Kingdom Hearts of animated movies. Both TLK and KH do not deserve the critical acclaim that they've been getting over the years, and Disney seems to like milking the heck out of both of them to death and back.

People really need to stop praising these overly milked cows of a franchise and realize that they're flawed like everything else.

And while you may not agree with me; Simba and Mufasa are just as bad as Scar, even though Scar was the antagonist. Because Simba and Mufasa were tyrannical dictators who bullied some of the other animals that they had to banish them without reason. Simba's son Kion in the new spinoff show The Lion Guard is even worse, since he won't let other animals eat, and his allies are especially bullies, which makes me question their "protagonist" role.

I think that the problem with The Lion King and it's legacy is that the supposed "heroes" of the film are a bunch of tyrants who let the weak and everyone else who isn't them starve to death while the "villains" such as Scar were portrayed to be far too sympathetic to audiences even though they committed horrible deeds such as murder and invasion/destruction of property.

Another thing I want to remind you is that The Lion King is... Not... Conservative. Even if it is, it still does have liberal elements thrown in, such as Simba giving up meat to eat bugs (possible metaphor for a liberal encouraging a meat eater to go vegan, which I despise) and Timon & Pumbaa being a possible gay couple since they treat Simba, and later that brat Bunga in The Lion Guard, as their adopted children.

Even though you may not agree with me about The Lion King being fascist, I understand what you've said and I'll let you have your opinions. Still, Simba and Mufasa are just as much as a fascist and dictator as Scar, believe it or not, namely because of how they treated certain other animals such as antelope and hyenas. I know lions eat antelope in real life, but the antelope here are treated like humans, have human voices and are as anthropomorphized as the other animals, The Lion Guard is proof of this. If you think that all the hyenas are bad guys, then why do "good" hyenas such as Jasiri's clan live in the Outlands? Quite the mystery that was never researched upon, it seems...
