The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime is a great show. Much better than the book. For those who don't know, the story is about a world in which the Germans made the atom bomb first and used it to win the war. The US is divided into 2 - the eastern Reich states, and Japanese Pacific States. The Rockies are a neutral zone marking the border between the two.

What I like about the show is that it is a realistic extrapolation of what the 1960s world would have been like if the Nazis had won the war. It is not your typical anti-nazi propaganda. You see a functioning society with some scientific aspects well ahead of our own.

Both the German and Japanese sides of the US emphasize traditional values - as they were a core component of their ideologies. Conservatives should be thrilled that in this world the '60s were not a mess with degenerate hippies rioting in the streets. In this scene you see the picture perfect conservative society and values as discussed by obergruppenfuhrer Smith at his family breakfast table. I've been watching the show with my kids and making use of it as a social, political, and critical thinking discussion tool.

This scene is one of my favorites scenes.

Worth noting, there is no cure for cancer either.

< Lee, I hope you learn to remove some of the anger from your commentary. I know you basically want more for yourself and others but being liberal in and of itself is not a disease.>

I didn't claim conservatives were perfect either and the party itself is definitely bad but time proven norms getting tossed out for liberal attempts to improve something that was working has proven to be disastrous.
As for what I said about psychosis etc of liberals. There's many but here is one I saved that I haven't had time to read all the way through yet...
