BeepPresident Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems
jwigglerI’m just so tired of seeing 1984 and Brazil and Idiocracy and every other political warning and satire played out in the real world every goddamn day of my life
TattorackYeah. A good thick slice of Anarchism might be what we need to reset things.
That is Anarchism, with capital “A”, the anti-authority ideology.
wanton violence doesn’t really work, this has been tried before. you need precise and well thought out violence. last i bother to check, something like 70-80% of the $ behind far-right america comes from like <20 people
SchmooWhere did they mention wanton violence? That’s not what anarchism is, and that’s also not what’s portrayed in V for Vendetta.
been awhile since i watched V for Vendetta, in my memory is basically just The Purge with accents and a little more monologuing
You should give it another viewing. There’s violence, but it’s not just random murder for its own sake like in The Purge. The protagonist carries out a series of targeted assassinations against people who were involved in detaining and experimenting on him in a concentration camp, and blows up a couple of empty buildings at the beginning and end of the movie in a symbolic act of defiance against a fascist regime. There’s a bit towards the end where he ships a bunch of guy fawkes masks to everyone and there’s some robbing and looting, but no killing until a secret police guy shoots an unarmed child in the street and some people jump him. The plot overall is about people rising up against and toppling a fascist regime, which is pretty relevant to current events.
