He is viewed favorably by TPTB. Today I saw this post on red*it showing him selling war bonds for WW1. https://old.reddit.com/r/HistoricalCapsule/comments/1hbfnol/this_iconic_photo_from_april_9_1918_shows_actor/

I didn't make the claim but the implication was that media has portrayed Chaplin favorably and the media is controlled by those organizations especially during the war.
His views seem to align with fabian socialism so it makes sense he was used to propagandize the cause. And what do you know - my hunch proves to be correct: https://fabians.org.uk/the-little-tramp-of-the-left/
When you know the big picture stuff, small details like this fall into place easily. If you were truly curious and not just a shill you would be reading the copious information available instead of asking reddit tier questions "wHo aRe tHeY?!? nAmE tHeM!!!"
No, the claim was that the Powers That Be are viewing him favorably. The claim is very specific, no need to make shit up.
So, my question is simply: who does OP mean by TBTB?
If the list you provided are TPTB then I'd like to see some quotes.
Do you even read what you're replying to? The Fabian Society is one of the TPTB organizations I listed. I linked you an article about Charlie Chaplin on their website.
The Fabian Society is a think tank with a few thousand members. How are they part of TPTB?
That's a non-sequitur - can't a think tank with a few thousand members be part of TPTB? What do you think TPTB is?
