Same. My wife doesn't like watching television with me anymore because I can't get through anything without pointing out all the blatant propaganda. I've been trying to keep it to myself, but the intentional deception/brainwashing is so damn irritating.

TV... it's like taking a stab to the eye voluntarily. It's become unbearable.

I just showed your comment to my girlfriend, who is in the exact same boat as your wife. I drive her nuts, but every time she's watching Netflix I can't help but point out the constant non-sense and propaganda.

Haha nice. Part of it is not being able to help myself, and part of it is just wanting my wife to be aware of it so she's not susceptible to it.

I realized the training was complete the other day when she decided on her own to stop watching the last season of The Good Place because they were beating our fucking heads in with this "white male bad" trope.

I think it's like if your wife was constantly talking to a friend that was trying to manipulate the way she thinks. It's impossible to not be bothered by it.

Oh man, I loved The Good Place. Such a brilliant show! But the last season ruined it for me.
