   I know Chase dresses like a #cop but hear me out #PawPatrol is #libertarian. In the movies it's made very clear that Paw Patrol are able to pay for everything, the rescue supplies, the vehicles, the gizmos, the pup tower etc., through the sale of licensed merchandise. That's right Adventure Bay pays 0 #taxes for their services. In addition their primary protagonist is an authoritarian politician, Mayor Humdinger. #kids #cartoon #parenting

      @fu I have seen some people claim "Paw Patrol" is fascist. But having watched the show with my grandkids, those people are making that up in their own minds.
      
      Paw Patrol is puppies driving vehicles. It is a perfect magnet for 3-5 year old boys. And because the pups use their vehicles to benefit the community, it could even be said to teach public service, except it is purely mindless throw-away entertainment for small boys.
      
      (I cannot say whether girls like it, as the female grandkids are too old for it.)
      
      If there's an argument to be made against the show, it is that it lacks educational value. Most of the limited time my grandsons get in front of a screen should be things to help them learn.
