Why Nazism is like Mad Men
I like show Mad Men
I like the characters in Mad Men
On the whole, I’d say Mad Men is a very well written show.
I liked Jon Hamm’s portrayal of Don Draper,
But in real life I don’t particularly like Jon Hamm’s politics or personality.
But what was the desired effect of Mad Men on its viewers?
Was it do further diminish the importance of men in society?
Was it to once again propagate the idea of the anti-hero?
Was it to shit on the “good ol’ days”?
And who funded this show, what were their motivations?
Money, to be certain.
None of this makes Mad Men a bad show, however.
It is possible to separate art from the artist.
