It’s because they have happy endings. It gives the opposite effect due to that. The rebels win, everyone makes it out alive, we get to sit in the garden with our blonde children under a nice tree and never worry about saving the world again.
It’s placating. Imagine going up to a Walmart and the doors are blocked with on fire cars, because the guys fighting for a union are not taking no for an answer, imagine the bosses office gets pipebombed, or moltov’d, that’s what it would take, people won’t go that far when they’re placated emotionally. Walmart goes to some very high extremes to fight unionizing, it would be horrible, they’d have to DO hazmats right, they’d have to stop the constant psychological warfare with their workers, they’d have to actually pay out a meaningful profit share not just $300 every quarter a head for a store that makes 2mil a day on average. It would mean they’d have to bring back middle management jobs to promote people to based on senority. Can you imagine?
