  • Experts in the field may be more knowledgeable, but there seem to be multiple attack vectors to me:

    • Fight and advocate to reduce social injustice; people who feel powerless or left out vote right [even against their own interest]
    • Support quality education that critically explores fascism and history, that improves media literacy, and logical fallacies etc
    • Support social programs that help people in the scene get out
    • Support social programs that prevent people from drifting into that scene
    • Be a voice in criticism and watchdogging media, orgs, and [public] people







  • Recently, I’ve been mindful of how long fights are in movies.

    Sword fight? Fanning at each other, crossing and smacking swords. Maybe even walking around each other. I don’t think that’s how a real sword fight would look.

    Fights where it’s mostly talking. Talking and talking. Nobody would fight like that.

    Fist fights without a smack and dead. It’s fancy movement - only because of the shaky camera and cuts of course. Give me back Jackie Chan or smack them once and they fall over.

    I also dislike noticing the wire-guided movements. Fast acceleration and you can see them balancing in the air lifted by wires. Wires removed after-the-fact, but it’s such unnatural movement.

    And of course, the classic gunfight where nobody hits anything.

    Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it’s faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies.

    It’s certainly prevalent.
