@kept_simple I went to school in a deep red state in the mid-80s, and we learned that slavery was evil, Harriet Tubman was a hero, and the US dishonorably broke treaties with the Native Americans.

@thomaschattwill I have to disagree here. Glover is a criminal, and should be locked up. But if the police can’t deal with criminals without literally killing innocent people as they sleep in bed, then the police are the first-order problem. Society can deal w/lawbreakers, but not bad enforcers

@agraybee Because the real theme of the story is an American child’s inability to understand his foreign father’s experience, a disconnect made visible by presenting it through cartoon mice. Also because the stylization makes concrete the sheer inability of art to capture the horror
