Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

MODERATORS
you just wait, it will be lib canon akin to chernobyl "what really happened™"
Urgh, I know libs who treat the Chernobyl series as being completely true and it's the worst. Don't think they're so lost in the sauce that they'd believe HBO propaganda about Israel, at least.
Never forget that Antonin Scalia cited 24 in defense of torture.
I swear, libs legitimately cannot grasp the concept that made up fiction does not prove anything. It's what happens when your ideology isn't grounded in materialism.

Watching that as a leftist was so weird because on the one hand it's not the worst depiction of life in the soviet union and them responding to a disaster. But on the other hand, they had to stick in their little communism bad moments which I felt ruined the mood of the show at times. 
Yeah, I especially like the guy who was only in the show to drink vodka and sarcastically say Communist things while being bureaucratically obstructive (which to be fair would be my job after the Revolution)
I've been trying to unwind Enemy At The Gates for years lol.
That movie is where people get the "facts" of Soviets shooting their own for not bull rushing into combat. Because human waves.
I think the worst part is that they try to follow the Soviet reports, while putting an anti-Soviet spin on it. They character assassinate Dyatlov, like how the Soviets initial investigation blamed the operators, while still exaggerating the victims and portraying the systemic issues, some real and some made up (like how they portrayed higher ups like the Coal Minister as obnoxious suits, when the Coal Minister was a career coal miner who was genuinely respected).
INSAG-7 is very different.
Basically everything about Legasov and Dyatlov ends up false because they're trying to hold up those contradictory positions.
Legasov was no hero, he covered up the reactor flaws. And he didn't even hide it for the Party, he was mostly hiding it from the Party.
FWIW I had some leftist environmentalist friends read through Chernobyl as being earnestly pro-communist. It shows a society moving heaven and earth to save the planet despite its own internal flaws. What's unsaid is there's no way in hell any capitalist nation would be able to clean up such a mess.
Surley they'll include the IDF shooting their own citizens 
Any mention of the Hannibal Directive in any online space will actually cause a liberal's head to explode.
they have no response for it
idk what are the odds they go for it to make it gritty and 'complex'? hasbara is one thing but papa HBO needs awards too
It would actually be good if they portrayed the false flag (there's no way they didn't know it was coming) and hannibal directive elements (the vast majority killed were done by the IOF themselves). Also if they showed Israelis partying next to giant outdoors concentration camp.
CW for reference to hasbara mass SA hoax
"HMS took Bluechew before they flew MarioKart into the music festival," but presented as absolute fact.
Every Western news channel has been 'airing a scripted portrayal of the devastating Oct. 7 attack on Israel' for almost two years. Get the fuck out of her with 'first' HBOMax.
Sweet, The Last of Us S3 is premiering earlier than I thought.
Could be cool
directed by an Israeli-American
Never mind

boom. gottem.
HBO Min
HBO Mid
Zionazis are getting really fucking desperate
I tried to cancel hbo max a number of months ago as I’ve been trying to get more into locally stored media, but I’m still getting it. Not being billed though so that’s nice, but they robbed me of performative unsubscribing lol
