Man in the High Castle: A Warning Unheeded?

I get a quirky kick out of thugs who go to the movies and cheer on heroes and hiss at villains, even though the former would likely pound such hypocritical supporters into the ground for any number of their habitual, underhanded deeds. 

I get much the same vibe from various folks who watch Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle", a series extrapolated from Philip K. Dick's eponymous novel, in which the Axis won WWII. I hear these individuals say how horrid the consequences of a German/Japanese victory would have been, but do they really hear what the series is saying?  

I know for a fact (based on my casual conversations with them) that to some degree or another, they're proponents of censorship, discrimination (often of the reversed sort) and excessive, governmental restrictions, just like the damn Nazis would endorse. But then, to these specialized "Man in the High Castle" viewers, everyone beyond their select, political scope is a Nazi.  See what I mean?

When "Man in the High Castle: Season 3" debuts Oct 5, how many will again absorb the right-vs-wrong/alternate-reality interludes with blinders on, never once catching the parallels that threaten and distinguish their own existence? This is most perplexing since the series' Neutral Zone is, in its own clever way, a roundabout imprint of what flanks us today, prompted by draconian political correctness and superfluous philosophies which contrary to propagandized promises, only fuel further suppression and warped views.

Okay, maybe I'm making too big a deal of the matter. I suppose as an eccentric entertainment, "Man in the High Castle" is as good as (if not better than) any among the current crop. Without question, its characters (whether virtuous or evil) and their performers are more than identifiable to help pass the time. 

In this respect, the upcoming ten-episode queue is guaranteed to mirror the previous with such sterling thespians as Alexa Davalos; Rupert Evans; Luke Kleintank; Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa; Brennan Brown; D.J. Quallis; Bella Heathcote; Stephen Root; Joel de la Fuente; Chelah Horsdal; and Rufus Sewell as the treacherous John Smith, who (as previews imply) should possess a larger, overlording role this season.

All this is well and good, but it matters little how engaging the actors and their characters are if viewers don't grasp their intent. We sacrifice too much of our freedom and in truth have been doing so for more than a decade now. "Man in the High Castle" depicts what happens when our freedom is torn from us per catastrophic circumstance, but to surrender liberty without protest is outright un-American. Still, many Americans remain open to the option.  If "Man in the High Castle" isn't reaching folks across the board with this seemingly axiomatic message/warning, I can't help but wonder if the saga might be in vain. 

Whatever the case, I, for one, will be watching, learning...appreciating what I still possess, while at the same time fearing what might be seized if the bad guys win, and alas, I've come to learn that far too often they--and their contradictory crusades--do.
