Ways of Seeing is a 1972 television series of (four) 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb.

  • Thank you Trump for attacking the brave people of Venezuela like I've been asking the US and Israel to do for years before I got this Peace Prize. Socialism is the work of the devil, and I claim to be a progressive!

    If anyone still thinks the "opposition" is not entirely subservient to western interests at this point, they will never learn otherwise.

  • The phrase "money is speech" refers to the Supreme Court's interpretation that spending money in political campaigns is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment. This concept was notably established in the 2010 case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts on political advocacy.

    This is what liberalism does. Wealth inequality inevitably unbalances any sense of liberty in material reality over time. It is the ideology of capitalism that is destroying community, humanity and the biosphere and climate.

  • Russia as it exists today is a creation of the US/NATO. Your western chauvinism runs so deep. The empire has been fighting any alternative to capitalism/fascism for decades, but you say these things.

  • There is one hegemonic power that has been doing imperialism for decades. They have by far the largest military presence across the globe, and they maintain currency hegemony over this long period as well. It is one empire, not empires in your "both sides" or "many sides" rhetoric. The EU and Japan et all are willing servants of this hegemonic order for most of this period. Millions have been killed by wars, interventions and economic mechanisms that serve to maintain this empire.

    The capitalist empire has always been like this. You are comparing trade alliances to war mongering genocidal profiteering across the globe over decades. These are not even close to equivalent.

  • Using "clash of civilizations" rhetoric is classic racist trope. There is one hegemonic reality currently, and referring to "Eastern empires" is dog whistling in the same way.

  • Rushmore

  • His favorite game to play outside was cowboys and Indians. Tales of the American West were very popular among boys in Austria and Germany. Books by James Fenimore Cooper and especially German writer Karl May were eagerly read and re-enacted. May, who had never been to the American West, invented a hero named Old Shatterhand, a white man who always won his battles with Native Americans, defeating his enemies through sheer will power and bravery. Young Hitler read and reread every one of May’s books about Old Shatterhand, totaling more than 70 novels. He continued to read them even as Führer. During the German attack on the Soviet Union he sometimes referred to the Russians as Redskins and ordered his officers to carry May’s books about fighting.

    This is correct but probably opposite of how you think it is.

    In 1991, one of the founders of NED, Allen Weinstein, stated that much of NED’s work involves doing what the CIA used to do. Some, in fact, refer to NED as the “second CIA.”

    Just have to scratch the surface a little bit to see the imperialist connection here. I'd implore you to not just take the surface-level info from NGOs without understanding the interests they serve.
