"Using politics to tell a story involves incorporating political themes, events, or systems into the narrative to enrich the storytelling experience. It might explore political dynamics, conflicts, or ideologies within the context of the story without necessarily advocating for a specific political agenda.
On the other hand, using a story to push political ideas prioritizes the agenda over the narrative. In this approach, the primary goal is to convey a particular political message, often promoting certain beliefs, values, or agendas through characters, plotlines, or symbolism. The storytelling serves as a vehicle to persuade or advocate for specific political viewpoints.
In essence, the former focuses on storytelling with political elements, while the latter prioritizes political messaging over the narrative's integrity."
This is why shoving left wing propaganda into cultural products makes them bad.
