I would say that the movie is a litmus test for whether someone is or is not a philistine.

But since you changed the topic to films, I just saw and can recommend Der Rat der Götter ("Council of...

Ha, that reminded me of an exchange I had with that "nadine" character at DU once. She was lecturing everyone on US history and said "don't forget it was hotheads like John C Calhoun that created the...

Step one: Brennan or whoever testifies in front of Congress blah blah.

Step two: assassination of US citizens and a secret process for deciding who gets killed becomes a hot topic of discussion.

Did ya have to send us there, BP? Ugh.

Yes, but where does he shit?

Netflix has both The North Star and The Ascent.

Granted.

Failure of these various movements - and fail they must - is a good thing, an inevitable step in the process. Capitalism has failed to deliver and sustain middle class utopia here - good that this...

Objection. Fucking objection. WTF is the matter with you? You used a member's real name in your little tirade. Please edit it out of your post.

Bruce Dixon and Glen Ford have done some good work on this subject. Back in '02 (if memory serves) they did some stories on the DLC grooming young Black politicians, and Obama was one they were...

Great statement there. Imagine that. Even the owners are more afraid of ravenous, voracious Capitalism than they are of revolution - and so should they be. So should everyone.

There isn't any theory that austerity is the answer to the crisis. The supposed "theory" is just made up bullshit to get people to go along with it.

In the midst of cherry season last year a TP candidate in his suit and tie walked into the barn at the orchard. It was 90 degrees and about 35 workers were busy sorting and washing cherries, local...

Heh. Just ran to the store and had NPR on the car radio, and sure enough they were going on and on about "values" - as in "today's youth have none." No work ethic, no respect, they are expecting...

The BBC pundits have identified the root cause of the problem - bad parenting.

You cannot repeat word for word a centuries-old anti-Semitic screed without people here pointing out that you are repeating word for word a centuries old anti-Semitic screed. It is no more...

It has been pretty entertaining listening to the pundits and politicians lose their minds on the BBC the past few days. Once calm and smug, above the fray and so arrogant and condescending - "those...

Heh.

I thought we had the latitude to ban anyone we wish to ban. That is pretty wide.

The term working class refers to a phenomenon that exists in objective reality. It is not an imaginary construct. Putting it in quotation marks denies the reality - as in "so-called working class."...

Heard on the BBC world overnight...

Interviewer: "So, what is this all about? Why are you here?"

Youth: "You are rich. We are poor. You have everything. We have nothing. Tonight this street is...

We are conflating two things there. I am not faulting people for doing what they have to do to survive. I am however questioning that this idea of "acting out their ideals" is of any value to the...
