Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media?

You need to start considering the motivation of the villains of the mainstream media that the ultra-rich are rubber stamping. The whole “Hero’s journey” lends itself to Libertarianism. Kingsman is a good example of a Libertarian morality tale, but compare how often an environmentalist is the villain vs how often they’re the hero in other media.
I had to stop watching the Flash tv series because of the causal disregard of the rights of the villains in the first season. Why did the writers mean by having Team Flash run a private, secret prison where the inmates are in perpetual, solitary confinement with no access to a lawyer and no expectation of a trial? The writers really didn’t need to create that scenario.
