HistoryIsComplex 383 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Americans have always had big problems with freedom of speech. It is a common experience in America to try discuss something calmly and find that people suddenly get deeply offended by the subject. So what is happening is not that surprising.

Americans are led to believe by their Mainstream Media that America is the best at everything. And America has a cultural firewall of sorts around it. For example, while people around the world watch Hollywood movies - but also other movies (European, Asian, Middle Eastern) - average Americans do not watch anything foreign. While the average citizen in Europe knows a thing or two about American politics, the average American could not tell you what is going on in Europe politically. This is partly due to Cold War America deliberately making Americans disinterested in the culture, politics and religions of the rest of the world. America spent decades in cultural isolation, exporting cultural products but not importing much back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinfoil Hat 1,001 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 What's with anti American comments? Surely people here recognise the urgency of supporting each other instead of making sweeping, ignorant statements? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The blackout has been predicted by Q anons for ages. If and when it happens, we'll hopefully see at last whether there is genuinely a movement by 'White Hats' to usurp the evil ones, or if that was an elaborate phsyop to pacify Patriots who may otherwise have been moved to take action themselves. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is my thought too. I am expecting a cloud outage / power outage or something major. Parler has now gone dark, but for different reasons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surely people here recognise the urgency of supporting each other instead of making sweeping, ignorant statements? It isn't anti-American to analyze how America works culturally. There have been very serious freedom of speech problems in America for ages. You cannot say a word about Israel in the USA without having Holocaust! Holocaust! thrown in your face. During the 9/11 years, every little critique of America was regarded almost as terrorism. That was the REPUBLICANS at the time. And now we have the WOKE/LGBTQ crowd on the Democrat side CANCELLING everyone who disagrees. This is not freedom of speech. And this should not happen in a free country or democracy.

I do feel like Americanization has been damaging. I don't think we should blame American people though. It's the corporations that have exported their ideology all over the world, like Hollywood, MTV, etc. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The money, the equipment and the talent for it was there. But it never happed for some reason. Which is why Hollywood/MTV was able to dominate what young people consume.

Well the plus side is that nowadays it is possible for people to shoot a low budget film. Its not inconceivable for people with vision and talent to crowd fund good low budget films. There are even some big name actors who will do arthouse films just out of the interest so with a good script the odd big name could be reeled in This is really what french new wave cinema was doing by keeping things simple. In the 90's the Dogme school was running around with hand held cameras. Some of the most suspensful films often have small casts but the action is in the detail, not in the grand sweep like in a blockbuster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
