How the Trump Cult Imitated Jesus

This isn't the best time to be alive for Orange Man. As Trump's reputation slowly shatters away, the real surprise is not that the Big Don is receiving a tidal wave of hatred. The surprise is that some people will support the Orange Tyrant no matter what and hope that he will save them from "the left" if they just "trust the plan" harder 

What kind of madness do this people suffer from? Well, I have reasons to believe that the entirety of Trump's political career has been cleverly manufactured to resemble the life of Jesus. In the minds of his worshipful followers, Trump is only a slightly meaner carbon copy of the Messiah Himself. 

This is one of the multiple reasons why they feel such never-ending loyalty towards him. 

So today, in the Pasture of Knowledge, I will take you to the insanity of the Orange Cult as we compare Trump's political career to the life of Jesus Christ. 

1: A Savior that Was Promised 

While the founding fathers never promised the rise of a millionaire savior in the constitution, many people look to Trump as if he was a promised messiah. 

Many of this people lived under Obama's presidency moaning for a republican candidate that would save them from the likes of Mitt Romney and John McCain. 

The desire to extirpate the American nation from both the kenyan menace and the Rhino's was finally relieved when Orange Man came into scene and promised to Make America Great Again. 

Just as Jesus came to minister to the hebrews at a time were they were struggling with the Romans, Trump came when his people thought they needed saving. 

Even some of the neoconservatives at the time could be compared with the pharisees; this are the so-called "never-trumpers" who associated with the Lincoln Project and clutched their pearls at the insulting, poor mannered behavior of the orange millionaire. 

Unlike them - so did the MAGA cult believed - Trump would return to the essence of the american ideals;  avoiding the distractions of lesser things like protocol. 

2: A Savior that Was Hated by the Establishment 

The savior narrative wouldn't be successful if Orange Man was received with open arms and love by the enemies of American ideals.

Therefore, Trump was received with the acrimony of an old, rotten establishment afraid to have their power snatched from their hands. 

All the global media with the exception of Fox News held to the pitchforks of propaganda against this menacing rebel. The newscasters and commentators revolted against him like he pinched their nerves. The celebrities chanted against him with the monotone buzzing of an insect hive. The cartoonists produced attacks on him with the precision and predictability of a factory line. 

Just like Jesus was criticized and even condemned by the angry Pharisees and Sadducees - to the point that most of the Gospels narrates the controversies between them - Orange Man was condemned by many in power as soon as he stepped in, and kept doing so even as his popularity increased. 

3: A Savior Loved & Saluted by the People even as His Enemies are Plotting.  

The later part of 2020 wields multiple similarities to the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. 

At this point, the rivalry between the Savior and the Pharisees had reached a significant climax. The Jews plotted to slaughter the Messiah, and yet the people received him with triumphant apparels and worshipful statements. 

During Trump's direst time - the stealing of the election - The people were there, saluting him with flags, MAGA caps and weapons as a triumphant king. January 6 was an imitation of Palm Sunday.

4: A Savior Betrayed, Judged, and Put to (Political) Death 

While Orange Man was never Crucified, the narrative of persecution against him reached its peak during the time of Joe Biden. 

He was betrayed by his fellow republicans, specially Mike Pence and (for a short while) Fox News. Jesus was betrayed by Judas and the general population of Jerusalem. 

Orange Man was lied about, politically crucified (the phony impeachment of 2021), arrested and exposed to the masses of haters for hilarity and contempt. Jesus was lied about, actually crucified, judged and smitten with spittle. 

5: A Savior Returning 

The Resurrection of Jesus was imitated when Orange Man returned to the voting boxes despite of the disgraceful punishments imposed upon him. 

What could have destroyed the career of any other politician, didn't stop Orange Man. 

The idea of Trump resurrecting was only emphasized by the shooting attempt of 2024. It imitates the attempts of the Pharisees to destroy Christianity as soon as Pentecost was over. 

Orange Man shifted his head like a boss and the bullet "grazed" the man's head. Nothing happened, but a perfect opportunity for a photo op. 

Conclusion 

With all this said, I still don't understand better why Orange Man is still being worshipped. 

It doesn't matter if he were to be crucified by the democrats next Friday; MAGA (or, should we say, MIGA) values and Christian values are not the same. 

Orange values are the values of Herod, and if Trump's worshipful servants don't realize it, they will be harvested by Iran, abused by the Jews and ripped apart by the forces of Hell. 

I hate This Movie

Pocahontas (1995)

Based on the real life Powhatan teenager known for saving a settler from execution, Disney's Pocahontas was both a financial failure and a critical success, earning it an Oscar for best original song. 

Nevertheless, I have multiple reasons for hating this film. I am aware that many people hate it because they don't like it's portrayal of the Powhatan and the English. Well, those people were right, even if it is for the wrong reasons. Today, in the Pasture of Knowledge, I will explain to you why I hate this movie. 

1: It's insulting to the real Pocahontas 

Making a fantasy musical about a real person is very low, even for the Walt Disney Company. They could have made a movie about any imaginary person if they wanted to, but no; they insisted on writing fan-fiction about a woman who had been dead for centuries.

What would she feel if she were to see this movie? Did Disney thought her descendants would approve of this?

After the event with John Smith, Pocahontas was held hostage by the settlers. The woman travelled to Britain, were she died of an unknown disease before 23. Her story is quite harsh, turning it into a stupid princess cartoon with tree people is insulting. 

2: The Pocahontas + Smith Relationship is Creepy 

As if this wasn't offensive enough, there is a detail that is pretty gross. You see, when Pocahontas met John Smith, she was a teenager. Disney literally shipped together two real life people who were never in a relationship. And if they were, that's creepy and scary. 

3: The Powhatan are literally Orange 

Disney Executives like patting themselves in the back for having multiple races of princesses. However, what is the point of painting Powhatan people with orange skin? 

They're literally Orange. 

It's ridiculous. Living in Mexico I see "copper skinned" people all the time and they are not orange. Their color varies between dark copper, light coffee and in-between,  but that color is not orange. 

I feel they wanted the Powhatan to look more white, which is stupid and contradicts the way this movie portrays whites. If you can't tolerate the looks of other people, why make a movie about them in the first place? 

Pocahontas isn't divisive because of modern wokeness. Pocahontas is divisive because it handles a serious story with the expectation of selling dolls and theme park rides. 

4: The whites are portrayed exclusively as greedy and blood thirsty. 

If you are going to speak about history, you should portray the virtues and crimes of each people as they happened, not as you wanted them to be. 

The whites in Pocahontas are generally portrayed as greedy, bloodthirsty, effeminate thumbtacks who need to be patronized by the Powhatan, who off course are portrayed as magical, nature loving orange elf people. 

As soon as they arrive to the new continent, they are desperate to kill "Injuns", as if a bunch of derelict Brits could successfully defend themselves against the entire Algonquin nation. 

Part of the conquest of America would never have happened if the colonizers didn't try to make alliances with the people they found. 

Many of the actions of the Anglo-Saxons through the conquest of America were greedy and bloodthirsty. There is nothing wrong with condemning the general crimes that the different ethnic groups have committed. 

But Pocahontas is just a cartoon and real history is portrayed with immaturity. The viewer is never made to consider that, under similar circumstances to those of the British colonizers, they too would be perfectly capable of acting similarly.

5: After demonizing whites, the movie then proceeds to condemn the Powhatan for wanting them out of their lands. 

At the mid point of the movie, Disney wants us to believe that suddenly, not wanting white people in your territory is bad. 

Why? You went out of your way to portray them as the true savages who have been corrupted by capitalism and can't wait to kill indians. 

At this point in the movie, the villain - Governor Ratcliffe - has killed a member of their community. They have a reason to be afraid. They have a reason to be angry. They have a reason to want to defend themselves. And yet, suddenly the movie wants to me believe their intolerance is bad? 

6: The Song "Savages" is Hideous 

Now, on a more personal note, "Savages" - the villain song of the movie - is absolutely hideous. It's anxiety inducing, it's rhythm has no rest, and melodically, it's the worst song Disney has ever made. 

I will reproduce some of the lyrics below, and add some comments. Those parts sung by the Powhatan are orange (because Disney has told us this is what Powhatan look like) and those sung by the British are pink.

What can you expect / From filthy little heathens / Their whole disgusting race is like a curse / Their skin's a hellish red / They're only good when dead / their vermin, as I said / and worse

Yay, let's have kids sing along to racist lyrics to prove that racism is bad 

Behind that milky white / there's emptiness inside / I wonder if they even bleed 

If they can't bleed, the Powhatan are done for.

They're not like you and me / Which means they must be evil

Again, it's merely black and white (or, should I say, orange and pink) in a movie about "dialogue" and "diversity". 

They different from us / Which means they can't be trusted

At this point, the movie Powhatan aren't mistrusting them because they're pale. They mistrust them because they shot one of them and started cutting down trees without even establishing contact with them. 

7: It has a Pug 

One of the (multiple) pets in the movie is a pug. Firstly, pugs weren't a thing back then. Secondly, pugs are an ugly, malformed breed who live with breathing problems - and yet, people think they're cute because of movies like this. 

Conclusion

I hate Pocahontas, and you should too 

It's a stupid film / It's ravening with filth 

And it will make a fool of you 

I hate Pocahontas, I like the hate it gets

Their Powhatan are orange / They're Hollywoodian cringe 

They're treated like the writer's pets 

I hate Pocahontas, it's just a dumb cartoon  

Their white men have no wits / They're just the bad on Brits 

We are supposed to hate this goons 

I hate Pocahontas, its riddled and insane 

The race we had to hate / Are just friends at the gate 

Superior elves are suddenly mundane 

I hate Pocahontas, in hatred I'll remain

She lived and saw the world / Now she's a plastic doll

The selling of a person's name 

Mill Stone Revival Chapter V: Toxic Environmentalism

It is very important to be careful with the kinds of movies we let our children consume. Many family movies are written by people whose basic morals are limited to virtue signaling and pretending to care about the planet. 

Many parents pat themselves in the back for not letting their kids watch movies with "woke indoctrination". Some of them sign petitions on Life Sites News or akin sites whenever Disney makes an attempt to include LGBT people or message the masses about climate change. 

However, I am yet to see "conservative" influencers actually attempting to dismantle the real problem with some of this films. Instead of focusing on fake moral panics and anti-woke slop you tubers, they should give to this movies a serious analysis. 

This would allow them to find whatever might be erroneous on this films, assess the extent of the damage and permit the viewers to find this questionable messages for themselves. So today, in the Pasture of Knowledge, we will discuss a surprisingly common family movie trope that should be questioned and held accountable. 

What do I mean with Toxic Environmentalism? 

On principle, there is nothing wrong with taking care of the planet; specially if motivated by charity towards others (by not polluting their water, for example). 

In fact, I would argue that some movies with toxic environmentalism might actually be detrimental to the cause of planet welfare. 

By focusing their might into unrealistic scenarios, poor biology, human-hating narratives, hypocrisy and stupidity, this movies help to foster in the ecologist the immature, manipulable mentality we are all familiar with.

The signs of toxic environmentalism are the following:

1: Using the planet to promote cosplay pagan communism 

Because many pagan tribes live a fairly green life, environmentalists seem to believe that paganism is the answer to the ecological problems of the world. 

To this I respond: There is nothing wrong with living like they do. It's a humble and austere life.Thats how the monks lived.

If the tribes of the world choose to keep their simplicity of life, they are entitled to do so. Even if they should do away with their gods and shamans. 

What I object to is the ideology behind movies like Pocahontas and Avatar. This movies have not been directed by people from tribes, they have been written by white / Jewish individuals. Therefore, their perspective is different. 

This people promote the "noble savage" myth. This is the idea that people from tribes are very good, intrinsically virtuous, elf-like beings who are incapable of violence or other forms of evil. That is a lie.

Even though tribes lived closer to nature than modern civilization, they were still able to impact the planet whether they realized it or not. 

The people who believe this are often communists, who believe civilized society is monstrous not because of the inherent vices of humanity, but because "capitalism corrupted people". To this I respond: if people weren't corrupt from the beginning, all the evils of usury, greed and worker exploitation (what Marxists call capitalism) would never have happened in the first place. 

So it's basically preaching the absurdity of weak gods and the idealistic trumpets of communism because "the planet". Considering that even old european civilizations were greener than our oh-so-diverse society, I don't think we need Pachamama to know that deforestation is bad. 

2: Antropophobia 

Many environmentalists think they are good people because they love animals and plants, but their hatred for people is quite intense. This is unacceptable. 

Many "ecological" movies focus all their might in demonizing humanity as if the writers didn't had a larger impact on nature than most of the people in the planet. The result is that anyone who attends to the message becomes an antropophobic hypocrite while others just smirk and laugh and feel offended.

Case Studies.

The following case studies tell very similar stories, and yet their approach is different enough for you to be able to distinctly recognize each feature of toxic environmentalism. 

Pocahontas 

Released in 1995, Pocahontas was a (well-deserved) financial flop. Yet, as many Disney movies, it was able to make its way into the common consciousness, specially because it received good reviews by critics. 

Pocahontas tells the story of a Powhatan woman who has a relationship with an English colonist. While both the Powhatan and the English fight against each other for the land and to defend their way of life, Pocahontas & John Smith try to impose dialogue and diversity to their people. 

The movie also has an environmental side to it. You see, the colonisers are looking for gold and their first action consists in chopping down trees. The natives, in contrast, are presented as  magical elves who speak with tree entities and live in contact with nature.

The song "Colours of the Wind" has some phrases that evoke this, as Pocahontas chastises her lover for his greed and insensitivity to both nature and the elven protectors Powhatan. 

You think I'm an ignorant savage / And you've seen so many places / I guess it must be so / But still I cannot see / If the savage one is me / How can there be so much you don't know - you don't know 

You think that you own whatever land you land on / The earth is just a dead thing you can claim / But I know every rock and tree and creature / Has a life, has a spirit, has a name 

Property, the final boss of communism, is criticized; it's criticism is applied to our relationship with the planet. 

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest / Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth/ Come roll in the riches all around you / And for once never wonder what they're worth. 

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers / The heron and the otter are my friends / And we are all connected to each other / In a circle, in a hoop that never ends.

This part suggests pantheism - the belief that all things are essentially, the same thing. And that thing is divine. 

For whether we are white or copper-skinned / We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains / We need to paint with all the colors of the wind. 

I am rather confused by "paint with the colors of the wind", but I think it's a metaphor for paying close attention to nature's beauty and "becoming one" with it. 

You can own the earth and still / All you'll own is earth until / You can paint with all the colors of the wind. 

This final phrase doesn't really fit with the rest of the song, in which land is not something to be owned, but something to be one with. No offense to Steven Schwartz, but how can you own the earth by painting in the wind when painting in the wind implies you don't see nature as your property? 

Moana 

Released in 2016, Moana tells the story of a messianic Polynesian princess who saves a Pachamama-type goddess, Te Fiti. 

Moana is sad because she feels called to the ocean - a living entity that played with her once - but her father prefers to stay in the island Motonui. 

However, as the fish and plants of Motonui start dying, Moana decides to embark on an epic quest to return a green jewel (heart) to Te Fiti. 

Moana learns to sail from the entity Maui, a polynesian demigod. Shortly after a fight with a giant, greedy lobster who loves gold, they split up; Maui had stolen Te Fiti's heart, and was the cause of the environmental decline of Motonui. 

Moana is then contacted by her Grandma's ghost and is given a pep talk about how she is the Polynesian messiah. 

Moana resolves to return the heart, but first she needs to fight against a giant volcano monster. As they face each other, Moana discovers the monster is Te Fiti, and sings to the entity to return the heart. 

As Te Fiti receives the organ transplant, she becomes a green lady with flowers on her hair. A Pachamama figure for the masses. 

To be specific: Unlike other ecological films, Moana doesn't preach you in the head about how bad pollution is. It is a metaphor. 

Also, Moana doesn't teach you to respect and worship Polynesian gods. In fact, if I were Polynesian, I would be appalled by Maui's portrayal by The Rock. 

It is simply a subtle, fantasy introduction to earth-type Goddesses.

Avatar

Released in 2009, Avatar was widely loved for it's beautiful graphics and creative world building. Skip over to the year of the Lord 2026 and Avatar is often mocked for it's cartoonish antropophobia. 

While the recent sequels try to redeem humanity with a new character - Spider -, the original wasn't like this. 

Our main character, Jake Sully, is a paralyzed marine struggling in a nasty, overpopulated, energy-deprived planet earth. Sully is then contacted to replace his dead brother in the remote planet of Pandora. 

Upon arrival Sully is given an alien body to posses. The paralyzed man is thrilled to recover his physical abilities. Later on, he infiltrates the alien locals - the Nav'i - in a quest to learn about their culture and get their permission to mine a precious mineral conveniently named Unobtanium. 

As the movie progresses, Sully learns to love the Nav'i and their planet, and turns against humanity to protect his new found family. 

In the movie all humans are either evil or reject their humanity to save Pandora. It's no coincidence that Sully was paralyzed; after so many years of being trapped in his useless body, Sully is allowed to leave it. He is symbolically freed from the prison of humanity; free to feed from the wisdom of Pandora and it's hive-mind goddess, Eywga. 

Indeed, Eywga is an entity connected to all the beings of Pandora, and all the beings of Pandora connect with each other psychically. This - together with the "tribal people" texture pack of the Nav'i - is the way in which James Cameron introduced many to some sort of sci-fi paganism.

Conclusion 

In order to avoid the problems with Toxic Environmentalism, the following could help: 

+ Good catechism. Good apologetics. Good philosophy. 

+ Nuanced ecology. Children should know how the system works and why it is difficult to get solutions. 

+ Teach them to love their fellow human beings, and notice the patterns I mentioned above for themselves. 

+ Give them plenty of wholesome entertainment 

Finally, I will dedicate my final words to encourage my readers to live as ecologically friendly as possible.

Austerity, not stupidity, is the key to solve many of this problems. 

Mill Stone Revival Chapter IV: The Low Brow Moments

 

It is very important to be careful with the kinds of movies we let our children consume. Many family movies are written by people whose basic morals are negligible. 

Many parents pat themselves in the back for not letting their kids watch movies with "woke indoctrination". Some of them sign petitions on Life Sites News or akin sites whenever Disney makes an attempt to include LGBT people. 

However, I am yet to see "conservative" influencers actually attempting to dismantle the real problem with some of this films. Instead of focusing on fake moral panics and anti-woke slop you tubers, they should give to this movies a serious analysis. 

This would allow them to find whatever might be erroneous on this films, assess the extent of the damage and permit the viewers to find this questionable messages for themselves. So today, in the Pasture of Knowledge, we will discuss a surprisingly common family movie trope that should be questioned and held accountable. 

What is a Low Brow Moment? 

With "Low Brow" moments I mean every single scene on a family movie that includes references or jokes about breeding. 

Unfortunately there are many movies and cartoons that follow this unfortunate trend. This is specially true of the movies from the 1990's to the year of 2026, and even more applicable to the animation studio Dreamworks. 

Case Studies 

While I will not make an exhaustive list of every vulgar joke in movies, I will use as examples those I found to be the most egregious. 

Any Low Brow Moment is pretty bad, but the conditions to verify the nature and seriousness of Low Brow Moments, were the following: 

1: Matter at hand. What kind of activity is the joke about? It's always worse if it deals with weird activities and always worse if it implies violence. 

2: Relevance to the Plot. Can the scene be edited out / ignored / forgotten without the plot losing coherence? This is specially important for parents who have the time to censor the movies they own.

Zootropolis 

Also known as the movie were, in the context of a city of anthropomorphic animals who wear human clothes, we are presented to a group of animals in a weird new-age spa were none of them are dressed. 

Judy Hopps reacts horrified when she realizes her investigation has brought her to a, let's, say, adamite club. Nick, the fox, replies sarcastically: "Zootopia is the city were anyone can be anything." What the little canine didn't realize is that the directors  wanted us to believe this slogan is virtuous. 

Further low brow "jokes" can be seen during the scene, which we will not describe. As for myself, it is hard to not consider Zootopia as furry bait when a scene like this was made relevant to the plot. 

Bee Movie

Also known as the movie that has some uncomfortable jokes about a bee dating a woman. 

Madagascar 

Madagascar is a more classical example. Released to appease both adults and children, the movies contain a surprising amount of Low Brow jokes that make me think someone actually way to make a movie for an older audience. 

On 2016 this saga saw a prequel: The Penguins of Madagascar. Here we see the origin story for the penguins Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private. 

For some reason, through the movie, the penguins are always slapping each other's rears, even Private's who is younger than the others. It is very uncomfortable. 

Show Dogs: The Final Boss

Released in 2018, Show Dogs is the final boss of Low Brow Moments. The matter of the joke is extremely serious and the relevance to the plot is significant. While the scene was removed from (most) video releases, avoiding this movie in my opinion is a necessity. 

Long story short, the "joke" is literally a grooming technique, when the abuser suggests to their victims they can "imagine to be somewhere else".

This is told to a police dog who doesn't want to be touched in certain areas during a dog show were he is undercover. "Max" must permit this unsanitary practice or else he won't be able to save a panda victim of trafficking. 

And that's why my blog is named the corner of madness. 

Bonus: Glorified Bad Relationships 

Aside from the movies with low brow moments, we have films whose relationships are unhealthy or dangerous but the movie portrays them as desirable. 

Belle & Beast 

I base my criticism of the film's main couple on the possibility that their relationship might be the result of Stockholm Syndrome. 

In the movie, Beast was cursed by a malevolent fairy. He needs the love of a maiden to save himself and his servants from death. After Belle's father is captured by Beast for trespassing, the girl agrees to be captured in his stead. Eventually, both Belle & Beast develop a relationship and marry after Beast recovers his humanity. 

Belle presents many symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome. This include: 

+ Developing feelings & empathy for her captor. This increases when Belle is told she can save the Beast from it's curse. 

+ Refusal to leave. After Beast saves her from a pack of wolves, Belle decides to stay and help him despite the fact she could have escaped in her horse. 

She has started to see her captor in a better light, despite the fact that if it weren't because of Beast, the wolves wouldn't have attacked them. 

+ Anger with those who oppose the kidnapper. When the village people want to kill the beast, Belle's immediate response is to help it. 

The songs of the movie even ridicule a group of people who are (whether they realize it or not) marching to lynch a kidnapper: 

"We don't like / What we don't Understand / In fact it scares us / and this monster is mysterious at least."

Many of the things that cause Stockholm Syndrome are also present in the story: 

+ Amiability. If the captors show their kind side, the victim will eventually learn that befriending them will keep them alive. 

The first kidnappers to show their nice side are the furniture servants. They offer a huge party in the honor of Belle and frequently bring her consolation. 

The Beast starts with violence: it threatens Belle and even strikes her. But as the movie progresses, Beast shows kindness, gifting her dresses, books, and dancing with her. 

+ Belle is separated from her social circle (her father) for months. 

+ Belle endures the first moments of the hostage situation by feeling intense fear. She is comfronted with something she doesn't understand (The Beasts) and she nearly dies / gets seriously injured in a few occasions. This leads her into survival mode. 

Now, other (real) psychologists might disagree with my perspective, but I still think we can criticize this relationship whether there is Stockholm Syndrome or not. 

Beast is a kidnapper but he also is in being held by something. He and the furniture have been pressured by a morally questionable Fairy into a life or death situation. 

Both, in their own way, have been pressured into loving each other out of fear. 

K-Pop Demon Hunters

With K-Pop Warriors my  problem is based on symbols, not in actions.

Consider that in this film our protagonist is a half-demon (Rumi the demon huntress) whose love interest is a literal KPop demon (Jinu). 

Many of the defenders of this movie claim that the demons in K-Pop Warriors are "Korean" and therefore different from "absolutely evil" western demons. This didn't stop Sony from referencing western culture (ie., the devil's sing in latin). Plus, the demons are, let's say, demonic enough. They eat souls. 

In therms of their love, both Jinu and Rumi have a fairly friendly (so to speak) relationship. 

This one however includes a fair deal of manipulation. Rumi wants Jinu to help her defeat the other demons and Jinu has leverage against Rumi, since he is aware of Rumi's secrets. 

Strictly speaking, this movie has a symbol subversion - your boyfriend is a demon now. 

Many women get involved on relationship with complicated guys with the excuse of "saving them", only to be hurt by them. 

Jinu and Beast are characters who feed into this unfortunate temptation. 

This type of relationship shouldn't be glorified on an animated family movie, specially if it is mostly aimed at children. 

Conclusion

I was not willing to talk about this but I had to do it. Even movies that are mostly harmless have this types of moments and I can't accept it. 

To avoid the problems of Low Brow Moments, the following can help: 

+ Checking family-review sites can help to prevent this moments. 

+ Pause and Advance can work with  low brow moments you suddenly remembered about. 

+ Apparently, it is possible to censor DVDs and VHS tapes for yourself. If you have the time and the will to do this, you are welcome. My belief is that if any movie is worth watching, it should be from physical media, and not from streaming services. 

+ Avoid the movies where the jokes are relevant to the plot. 

+ Be a good parent, or else your children will run away with creepy motorcycle guys and girls from the asylum. 

Mill Stone Revival Chapter III: Villain Songs

It is very important to be careful with the kinds of movies we let our children consume. Many family movies are written by people whose basic morals are reduced to empty maxims like "be yourself" or "believe in something greater". 

Many parents pat themselves in the back for not letting their kids watch movies with "woke indoctrination". Some of them sign petitions on Life Sites News or akin sites whenever Disney makes an attempt to include LGBT people. Many obsess over the skin colour of remake Disney princesses and the personality of their actresses. Others will try to decode hidden occult messages, often assuming that one of the characters is the antichrist.

However, I am yet to see "conservative" influencers actually attempting to dismantle the real problem with some of this films. Instead of focusing on fake moral panics and anti-woke slop you tubers, they should give to this movies a serious analysis. 

This would allow them to find whatever might be erroneous on this films, assess the extent of the damage and permit the viewers to find this questionable messages for themselves. So today, in the Turnout of Thinking, we will discuss a common family movie trope that should be questioned and held accountable. 

What is a Villain Song? 

A villain song is that part in musical theatre were the antagonist of the story (who is often very wicked) sings about themselves. This tunes often highlight their malice, expose their plans and motivations, and clarify their role on the plot. 

Since an overwhelming number of family movies are musicals (thanks Disney), the number of villain songs children are exposed too is fairy significant. 

What is Wrong with Villain Songs? 

Most of my problem with villain songs (as of today, 2026) stems from the reaction they elicit from people. Many adults who enjoy cinema or animated family movies love this songs and think they are the "best part of the movie." 

Disney themselves feed into this infantile fascination with consumer products, themed avenues and games. They are even planning to build an entire sector dedicated to them in the Magic Kingdom park.

Growing up in the 2000's, it wasn't uncommon for Disney tunes to pop up in birthday parties and other areas were kids would play. This included multiple villain songs, even though some of them, as we shall see, were quite inappropriate.

Children and fans all over the world sing along to this tracks, tapping into  one's wicked side and breaking moral boundaries. While few would engage in the vile actions of Disney villains, this practice shows little seriousness and is indeed a clear exposition of western nihilism. Here the problem is not the fact that you do this things, but rather, that you don't care because the song is catchy.

The last problem comes from the power of songs themselves. Listening frequently to them will reach the subliminal part of the psyche and spread it's dangerous messages. Singing along to them is like singing that you are evil 

The intention of this article isn't to criticize every single song about evil that exists. Rather, I would like to focus on the songs that show the following defects: 

+ A villain trying to justify themselves

+ A villain rejoicing in their malicious character 

+ A villain boasting about how awesome they are 

+ A villain having an extended power fantasy that makes their malice look cool and attractive, at least for some.

Case Studies 

I chose the following songs based on the fact that they clearly expose the objections I present to villain songs in general. Keep in mind, however, that not every villain song is equal and that this are more obvious as to their evil side. 

My Lullaby  

In 1998 Disney released an official sequel for The Lion King. The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, was released directly for home video. 

Despite this seemingly unimportant origin, Lion King 2 is fondly remembered by nostalgic millennials and zoomers. It also offers us a case study of a villain song that is a Power Fantasy. 

Similar to the original's Be Prepared, My Lullaby shows the evil plans of the villain. Zira, a vengeful lioness, resents Simba and wants his pride to suffer. Downtrodden and exiled, she wishes for power and fantasizes about it.  

She sings about this in a fairly violent song that goes as follows: 

Hush, my little one, you must be exhausted 

Sleep my little Kovu / let your dreams take wing

One day when you're big and strong / you will be a king 

I've been exiled, persecuted / Left alone with no defense 

When I think of what that brute did / I get a little tense 

But I dream a dream so pretty / That I don't feel so depressed 

'Cause it soothes my inner kitty / and it helps me get some rest 

The sound of Simba's dying gasp / his daughter squealing in my grasp 

His lionesses' mournful cry / that's my lullaby 

Now the past I've tried forgetting / and my foes I could forgive 

Trouble is I know is petty / but I hate to let them live 

So you found yourself somebody / Who'd chase Simba up a tree 

Oh, the battle may be bloody / but that kind of works for me 

The melody of angry growls / a counterpoint of painful howls 

A symphony of death, oh my, / That's my lullaby 

Scar is gone... But Zira's still around / To love this little lady 

Till he learns to be a killer / with a lust for being bad!

Sleep, ya little termite! / Uh, I mean, precious little thing 

One day when you're big and strong / you will be a king 

The pounding of the drums of war / The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar 

The joy of vengeance / Testify! 

I can hear the cheering / Kovu, what a guy! 

Payback time is nearing / and then our flag will fly 

Against a blood-red sky / That's my lullaby ! 

It's violent desires are expressed without measure. Power is every man's desire and Zira wants plenty of it. While most children will probably watch this scene with fear, I am pretty sure some can find it enticing or be tempted to embrace it's passionate hatred. 

And even if children find no temptation in this song, I fail to see why anyone would like to sing about "Simba's daughter squealing in my arm." 

Queen of Mean 

Descendants is a 2015 Disney Channel original movie telling a story with the progeny of Disney villains and Disney princesses. It's a teenager movie about different fantasy worlds living together in one, with the princesses having exiled the offspring of the villains into an island. 

This movie was quite popular at the time and has spawned multiple sequels, being the slightly cringier equivalent to High School Musical. 

It centers around Mal (Maleficent's daughter) and her friends. The trilogy narrates her attempts to fit into princess society and give an opportunity to other island teens. 

The following song comes from  Descendants 3. For context: 

Mal stole the boyfriend (a prince) from Audrey, the child of princess Aurora. Audrey is then vengeful and wants to taste evil, and she lets us know in a song. 

I'm so tired of pretending / Where's my happy ending 

I followed all the rules / I drew inside the lines 

I never asked for anything that wasn't mine / I waited patiently for my time 

But then it finally came / He called her name 

And now I feel this overwhelming pain / I mean, it's in my veins, I mean, it's in my brain 

My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train / I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame / I know exactly who to blame

I never thought of myself as mean / I always thought that I'd be the Queen / And there is no in between. 

Cause if I can't have that / Then I would be the leader of the dark / and the bad 

Now there's a devil in my shoulder / Where the angels used to be / And he's calling me the queen 

Being nice was my past time / But I've been hurt for the last time 

And I won't let another person take advantage of me / The anger burns in my skin, third degree 

Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea / There's nobody getting close to me 

They're gonna bow to the evil queen / Your nightmare's my dream / just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes 

I never thought of myself as mean / I always thought that I'd be the Queen / And there is no in between. 

Cause if I can't have that / Then I would be the leader of the dark / and the bad 

Now there's a devil in my shoulder / Where the angels used to be / And he's calling me the queen of mean 

Calling me, calling me / the queen of mean 

Something is pulling me / it's so magnetic 

My body is moving / unsure where I'm headed 

All of my senses have left me defenseless / the darkness around me / is promising vengeance 

The price Im willing to pay is expensive / there's nothing to lose / when you're lonely and friendless / So my only interest is showing this princess / That I am the Queen / and my reign will be endless! 

I want what I deserve / I want to rule the world 

Sit back and watch them learn / It's finally my turn 

If they want a villain for a queen / I'm gonna be one like they've never seen / I'll show them what it means 

Now that I am that / I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad / 'Cause the devil's in my shoulder / where the angels used to be 

And he's calling me the queen of mean 

Calling me, calling me / the queen of mean 

I want what I deserve! 

Many  practice kindness with little benefit to themselves. Being the walking doormat of everyone is not for the faint of heart, and Audrey wasn't able to resist it any longer. 

That still doesn't mean we should sing along to Queen of Mean. The desire for revenge is palpable, the enticements of evil are laid bare before our eyes.

Furthermore, Audrey is embracing Satan himself in the name of a petty teenage drama, in a kingdom that will likely turn into a democracy in relatively short time 

The fact that some fans tried to defend Audrey clearly shows to me that we shouldn't sing along to this song. 

Hellfire (Shock Value: The Song) 

The Final Boss of Villains Songs is Hellfire. Released with the 1996 movie The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Hellfire is so offensive I can't begin to fathom how was this considered family friendly by both Disney Executives and parents. 

Beata Maria

You know I am a righteous man

Of my virtue I am justly proud

Beata Maria

You know I'm so purer than 

The common, vulgar licentious crowd 

Then tell me, Maria

Why I see her dancing there 

Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul?

I feel her, I see her, 

The sun caught in her raven hair 

Is blazing in me out of all control 

Like Fire 

Hellfire 

The fire in my skin

This burning desire 

Is turning me to sin 

It's not my fault 

I'm not to blame 

It is the gypsy girl 

The witch who sent this flame 

It's not my fault

If in God's plan 

He made the devil so much 

Stronger than a man (This is blasphemy, for if Frollo wasn't such a bad Christian he would understand prayer and penance are enough to help him solve his inner struggle)

Protect me, Maria

Don't let this siren cast her spell

Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone 

Destroy Esmeralda 

And let her taste the fires of Hell

Or else let her be mine and mine alone (Here, Frollo boldly wishes Esmeralda to go to Hell if God does not allow him to consent to his lust)

Hellfire 

Dark fire 

Now gypsy, it's your turn 

Choose me or

Your pyre 

Be mine or you will burn 

God have mercy on her

God have mercy on me 

But she will be mine

Or she will burn! 

The fact that this thing is the most popular villain song makes my blood boil. It is not appropriate and singing along to it is literally singing about being a groomer who wants their victims in Hell if they do not consent. Levels of evil untold. 

Conclusion

In order to limit the evil power of villain songs, the following can help: 

+ Not showing movies / scenes with villain songs to people under the age of 7. Whatever is enticing to evil in the songs, it's more likely to hit when the child doesn't know exactly what is happening. 

+ Not singing along to them, and not playing them casually during any activity. 

+ Teach your children to like other types of music. In my experience, exposing them to classical / folkloric music early on is essential to build in them a taste that will surpass whatever song Disney or Hollywood spits to them under the pretense of art. 

+ Teach your children to interpret poems / songs for themselves. This will allow them to see the evil for themselves before their feet touch the border of the mire. 

+ Give to them lots of wholesome entertainment.
