A lot of liberals are well educated and have decent literacy skills, so they are actually able to notice the flaws in the system really well.
They just don't believe you can fix them. They've become alienated from the common person and think most people are lower class than them, that they can't be trusted. You need specially trained people to keep society in check, the police and you need specially trained helpers, the heroes.
The only welfare systems that exists in their mind are the ones socialist Faught for in the past, but it's been memory holed. They think people just magically figured it out one day, with enough thinking and those ones worked, but nope you can't expand the system, to them you can only reduce it if anything lol
Summed up by their saying "Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's the best we've got"
I mean no system would ever produce extremely popular art that "dismantles" its ideological hegemony. Hollywood Writers (and the arts in general) also recruit from a very specific class - aka not the working class - so art reflects the bourgeois character of the artist and the studio.
Sort of true, but capitalism is notoriously willing to align itself with anything, as long as they don't see you as a threat. So you can sneak in counter-hegemonic messaging. Usually it's hidden behind humor and irony, that's the classic.
The issue is actually getting into a position where you can actually do it from. It's extremely unlikely someone with revolutionary principles would make their way into a big name publisher or even if they had those principles, it's likely they would become corrupted, because they are not accounted by the people.
Still I make this point, because while it's true you can't explicitly, in all seriousness, make something like: Animated series on how to organize and build a Socialist government, there's way more wiggle room than one might assume.
The easiest way to critique fascism is be like Helldivers, but I do have to say they rely on way too much irony, which just ends up preaching to either choir. Of course I could be wrong too.
