Is the alt-right ruining movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I try to back up a lot of statements with links to online sources or references to physical books.

It takes a lot of time, though, to provide a reference to every single statement that is to blatantly obvious to me but somehow does not ring true to you. So I try to be selective, as I don't have all the time in the world either.

Most people I discuss don't even bother to check the links, though. Some even refuse to check any source that is likely to contradict their biases. And that really, really doesn't encourage one to keep sourcing every single thing.

In fact, do you provide a source for every claim you make?



I could give you ample articles or videos to start with.

Or I could post them here or send them to you in a PM, as to avoid "spamming" this thread with off-topic information.

Just ask for it. Tell me what you want to know more about, and I'll give you some sources that support my perspective on that topic.



It depends on the context.

IMO, historical inaccuracy should ALWAYS be avoided in non-fiction, but it's OK in fiction only if it actually improves the story being told. And I can appreciate good propaganda even if I don't agree with the message to some degree. But if it's overly blatant AND it kinda ruins the narrative of what could have been a great movie...

See above, and if I think you misinterpreted the evidence, wouldn't you at least want me to look at what you chose, rather than what I picked? Though I'll make an exception when your source is the Daily Mail.



Context.

If the whole "Cheddar man is Black" story was an isolated story, I would probably not have bothered to look for any agenda. But when the mainstream media is filled with "articles" pushing "diversity" in one way or another, it becomes hard to believe this was not just one more attempt to push that narrative.



I go with Wikipedia's definition :



Propaganda can consist of blatant lies. More often than not, however, it consists of a mixture or carefully selected truths, half-truths & distortions... which are swallowed much smoother than blatant lies!



Because all this "diversity" propaganda is turning woman against man, Blacks against White and its otherwise responsible for destabilizing society in a myriad of ways.



Actually... If it were up to me, corporate advertising would be illegal.



I see no benefits from a society where communities are fractured, single parent families are the norm, race hatred is everywhere and everyone is on some kind of substance (either illegal or prescribed) to deal with the mess their life has become.

That is precisely what the plutocracy want to achieve with their "diversity" propaganda. They want a divided population, where every "identity" group fights every other group, ignoring the fat cats who're really running the show.



There's so many false assumptions underlying that statement I don't even know where to begin to respond to that...

How is it Xenophobia? Smaller parties don't do well because we have a rigged system.

How is it racist or anti black? Its only racist if you think being British makes you superior to being Nigerian, I don't.

Boudicca did not speak a word of English, had never drank a cup or tea or ate fish and chips, yet she was British.

I may have some Norman ancestry, I do have French and Italian ancestry and possibly some distant African. My ancestors have been on Britain for thousands of years that is what makes me British.

Invasion is not immigration.

The Ancestors of Brits may have been darker yes but if you go back far enough they were fish too.

Because you're suggesting that immigrants can't possibly ever actually be a part of the culture they've chosen to join. I'm not sure if you're playing dumb or if you really don't comprehend the words you post.

Further, who said anything about invasion? Just because you chose to use certain terms for rhetorical effect doesn't mean that they're actually a reason description of what's actually occurring. Repeating these terms over and over and complaining that others won't adopt them is just the political correctness the nationalist/reactionary far-right is known for these days.

Immigrants can become part of British culture. They cannot become Britons.

Not ethnically, but to suggest they can't become Britons in the sense of national identity is exactly what I was talking about.

Sure they can have a national identity but that doesn't make them as British as a Briton.

Really?

History disagrees that assimilated minorities can't become as or more x than the x.

You have just made my argument for me.
The idea that the children of Chinese Immigrants can be considered more British than me because they speak with an RP accent, drink tea and love the Queen.

That is what angers me about all this.

And there it is. You're angry because if a child of Chinese immigrants can be just as British as you are, you're not longer special and above them. If they are just as British as you, you have to acknowledge them as equals and that makes you angry.

White racist anger is always from this root. What's that saying about the removal of privilege feeling like oppression to those with privilege? That's you buddy, thinking you losing the upper hand over immigrants is you being mistreated when really it's just your society equalizing. You don't get to be better than others anymore just because your ancestors are more "white" than the immigrants that make you so angry. That's all that is, it's very transparent.

Its not a privilege to be a Briton in Britain its literally my birth right.

Being white does not make me superior to a Chinese person whether they live in China or Britain, Being ethnically British does make me more British than an Ethnic Chinese person though.

However you need to resolve your superiority to slake that anger--you do you boo, as they say. Just remember we can all see through it clear as day.

Where have I mentioned superiority?

If you didn't feel deep inside that being "ethnically British" makes you better than those who aren't, it wouldn't make you angry to suggest that people of other ethnicities can be just as British as you. It's that anger that gives it away. If you didn't need to feel superior you wouldn't care so much about Chinese immigrants "infringing" on your British-ness.
