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 itโ€™s explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes itโ€™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 doesnโ€™t need stressing.

Stop doing this to yourself. Donโ€™t watch their television. Donโ€™t watch their films. Donโ€™t read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Donโ€™t be so fucking boring. You donโ€™t have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your countryโ€™s classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.
