That seems unlikely to me tbh, even an inept revolution can be dangerous to a government, and that would require a level of government control over media and long term planning that would be nigh impossible to use without the common person being somewhat aware of it. Id suspect it’s more something like celebrating revolutionaries being part of the US’s “founding myth” so to speak, and a lot of movies being made here. Having your heroes be rebels is an easy way to tell the audience theyre “the good guys” in such a culture.
You can try and suppress a revolution, but it will only make it better. And more brutal.
Except for all of those other times when the revolts were successfully suppressed…
Lol… I mean seriously dude?
But Star Wars!
(Movies about revolution, designed to program us to be terrible, inefficient, failing revolutionaries. In case we ever get ideas. It’s a long game.)

I meant that it just comes back later.
