Mission: Impossible - Fallout. Forget Muslims and Russia. Hollywood has a new bogeyman. | The Canary: It is perhaps telling of the age we live in that one of Hollywood’s biggest franchises has gone from having just plain evil baddies to having plain evil anarchist, anti-establishment baddies. Not that it’s a first, of course; the late Heath Ledger’s ‘Joker’ was positively anarchist in The Dark Knight. But the message is fairly clear: we shouldn’t be fearing the Muslamists or the Commies now. The enemy is the anti-establishment movement, with its ‘fake news’, protests, dislike of capitalism, and whacky ‘eat the rich’ ideas – even if this is all as far-removed from the truth about anarchism as you get.
