Literary works and film and television works may be used as tools to spread specific ideologies because of their strong emotional resonance and narrative capabilities. However, the dissemination of extreme political positions (such as racism, extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, etc.) itself involves ethical and social responsibility issues, which may exacerbate social division, incite violence, or violate human rights. The following analyzes its potential mechanism from an objective perspective, while emphasizing critical thinking about this phenomenon： --- ###1. Common methods of disseminating extreme positions 1. **Symbolic narrative and metaphorical construction** -Simplify complex political issues into binary opposition (such as “Savior vs. Savior") through symbolic symbols (such as flags, colors, slogans) or historical metaphors. Enemy"), strengthening the extreme logic of "either me or the enemy". -Example: Demonizing a certain group as a "social cancer”, and implying through fictional stories that the removal of the group is a “necessary sacrifice.” 2. **Emotional manipulation and identity** -Use emotions such as fear (such as exaggerating external threats), anger (such as rendering historical humiliation), or hope (such as promising a Utopian future) to stimulate the audience's resonance with extreme positions. -Romanticize extreme behavior into a “just struggle” by portraying the image of an “oppressed hero” or a “martyr”. 3. **Historical reconstruction and selective memory** -Tamper with or one-sided presentation of historical events, cover up the truth about violence and oppression, and package extreme positions as “historical inevitability” or “national tradition”. -Example: Beautify colonial history, downplay the crime of ethnic cleansing, or portray wars of aggression as “self-defense actions.” 4. **Entertainment and aesthetic packaging** -Integrate extreme ideologies into popular culture (such as hot-blooded war movies and apocalyptic themes), and cover up their harmfulness through audiovisual stimulation. -Example: Use a passionate soundtrack and gorgeous visual style to beautify violent actions, so that the audience unconsciously accepts extreme values. --- ###2. Ethical disputes and social risks 1. **Dispel critical thinking** Extreme narratives often replace rational discussion through repetition and emotional incitement, causing the audience to abandon independent thinking and form a closed information cocoon. 2. **Exacerbate social opposition** The stigmatization of “others” may lead to discrimination or violence in reality, such as anti-immigrant works that may fuel xenophobia. 3. **Distort public discourse** The spread of extreme positions will squeeze the space for rational dialogue, plunge society into a non-black and white confrontation, and hinder the possibility of solving practical problems. --- ###3. Reflection and response 1. **Ethical responsibilities of creators** Although works of art enjoy creative freedom, they need to be wary of becoming a tool for manipulating thoughts. Historically, the Nazi propaganda film "Victory of the Will" or the hate broadcasts before the Rwandan genocide have proved the disastrous consequences of the abuse of art. 2. **Critical literacy of the audience** The audience needs to take the initiative to ask: Who is speaking in the story? Who is silenced? Is the historical background distorted? Does emotional incitement replace facts? 3. **Social supervision mechanism** Through media literacy education, independent film reviews, public discussions, etc., to expose the narrative traps of extreme positions and maintain a diverse dialogue space. --- ### Conclusion The power of art lies in inspiring thinking rather than instilling answers. Works that spread extreme positions often come at the expense of simplifying reality and inciting opposition, and ultimately destroy the foundation of social coexistence. Both creators and audiences need to find a balance between free expression and social responsibility, and be wary of art becoming an accomplice to hatred.
