    Did you know that fascist regimes generally prefer audio dubbing films and tv shows instead of subtitles because then they get to control what the dialog says to their captive citizens ? And if most citizens can’t speak the foreign language and can’t read lips they never find any changes because how could they ?

    Google is doing the same thing here. But with your own content.

      That’s an interesting thought, but is there more to it? The German market is one of the biggest ones where almost everything gets dubbed, but that’s a country with a pretty stable democracy.

      Do you have examples of fascist regimes that dub to advance propaganda?
