How “Adolescence” Offers Us a Peek Inside the Machine
3rd April 2025
We’re mere inches away from actual legislation based almost entirely on the made-up events of a fictional TV show.
People are rightly pointing this out as ludicrous – and it is – but that’s seeing it backwards. We’re not getting laws passed because of TV shows, we’re getting TV shows made so they can pass laws.
The studio behind Adolescence gets government funding, as does Tender, the charity that was also invited to that absurd meeting.
Netflix’s finances have been a source of speculation for years, but its political associations, alongside a track record of producing content that perfectly fits a mainstream agenda, really speaks for itself.
Government, charities, corporate media. It’s all one organism.
Does that mean the show itself was cynically produced to fill a need and sell an agenda?
Absolutely certainly yes.

In all honesty I expected a reduction in a lot of this kind of BS with the DOGE crew taking a wrecking ball to USAID. Granted, they’re not going to simply roll over and die, they’ll find another way to fund their mania, but still.. I thought a lull was in order!
