@Angle "The answer to one extreme is rarely the other" -> I like this point but it could go farther. The status quo preserves it's position through damming up gradual change, waiting til things reach a breaking point, and using the cover of chaos when the breaking point occurs to transfer their power to a near identical power structure.
the US department of interior is going to destroy a LOT of records. they pertain to things such as oil and gas teases, mining, dams, wells, timber sales, marine conservation, fishing, endangered species, non-endangered species, critical habitats, land acquisition, and a whole lot more. there's more information available here: https://altgov2.org/doi-records-destruction/
you can make freedom of informatoin requests if any of this data interests you but there is a deadline of november 26, 2018. a lot of data is about to go down the memory hole, and this is going to have a HUGE impact on researchers and scientists and by proxy the public at large.
All of the movies are creative commons or public domain titles, embedded from either PeerTube or Archive.org. (There are no YouTube titles due to YT's invasive privacy policies.)

Post a reply if you have suggestions for films to be added.
Anarchism is the only political ideology with potential, yet very little art is anarchistic in construction. Samsara, gravities rainbow, finnegans wake and other works of anarchistic art do exist but we still largely insist that art have a singular, definite, narrative which fundamentally denies anarchy and freedom. If we don't engage with art that refuses to place itself within systems of control we are politically doomed before we even start. We cannot have freedom until we can imagine it.
"We therefore make a grave mistake if we think the #neoliberal state is intended simply to step back from markets. The unprecedented interventions by central banks into financial markets are symptomatic not of the neoliberal state’s collapse, but of its central function: to create and sustain markets at all costs."
"Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work", Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams, Verso, 2016
I can't stand the engineering of identities that everyone does on instagram and facebook. Everything is insincere. Not that any human action is idealistically sincere but damnnn instagram and facebook are a noxious cardboard cutout party.
Words are not mountains with monolithic definitions that erode over time. Words are sand dunes, each spoken or written invocation a grain blown on a moving wave, constantly in motion and never definite.
