Is English culture allowed?

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a fun watch. Not a horrifying horror but it fits the theme of spooky season.

Thanks! Will add them to the top comment after a little investigation.

Do you have any African ones?

I largely just ran through my top films and split off by country. Africa is trickier but of those I’ve seen:

  • Dust Devil (1993) - South African co-production filmed in Namibia
  • The Dead (2010) - British production but filmed in Ghana.
  • Fried Barry (2020) - South African

Not seen but look worth a watch (not sure about availability though):

You are amazing.

Saloum’s already on the list. I watch Good Madam this month but I’m not recommending it.

I’m proposing Deathgasm from New Zealand.

It’s comedy-horror rather than horror-horror, but it fits the seasonal theme

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.

Examples of posts that are welcome

  • Give recommendations of internationalist media. Discuss alternatives. 🎶🎥📺🎮📰

  • Bookclubs for anti-imperialist books or just any non-american books

  • Complain about americanised people and culture.

  • Talk about your motivations. Share your personal journal of de-americanisation.
