      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.

      The Butcher Boy, 1997, Ireland, IMDB 🇮🇪

      Not really a horror, try:

      • Grabbers (2012)
      • Extra Ordinary (2019)
      • Oddity (2024) - not seen it yet but it has got good reviews

        I found The Butcher Boy really unsettling

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.
