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 itโs explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes itโs 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 doesnโt need stressing.
Stop doing this to yourself. Donโt watch their television. Donโt watch their films. Donโt read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Donโt be so fucking boring. You donโt have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your countryโs classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.
