ITMFL didn’t need a narrative continuation, and as far as WKW goes, this one’s not that great. The little inside references to his other work are always fun though. If you’re a completionist, it’s a necessary watch, but its not one that I’d put on to show friends.
Remove All American Media And Culture From Your Life
Anti-imperialist comm to help you in your personal journey of cultural anti-imperialism.
American culture has spread all over the world, it has dumbed down and impoverished our variegated pre-colonial and non-capitalist cultures. Every time you yank yourself, a bit of their culture worms its way into your mind. Sometimes it’s explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes it’s subtle: the contempt shown for the poor, the celebration of selfishness, the value-system of their empire.
All inputs enter the mind, are absorbed, and blossom as thoughts and deeds. Mass-produced culture dulls you and makes you a boring, mass-produced personality. And nations are losing their personality by letting one imperial power do this to them.
That the empire is doing this as a more-or-less deliberate tool of influence doesn’t need stressing.
Stop doing this to yourself. Don’t watch their television. Don’t watch their films. Don’t read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Don’t be so fucking boring. You don’t have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your country’s classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.
