so I was watching some old educational films from the 1950s again, and came across this one about how to read a newspaper
I think this one is fascinating because on the one hand, it seems like such a silly thing to make a film about

Libs really be out here saying "don't be angry" and "don't fight ICE" and then wishing more radical protestors get hurt in the next breath. ngmi
Abuse culture is an ideology. It is not a mistake or a personal flaw. It is an intentional agenda repeatedly, deliberately carried out, especially by those in power. Even those who disagree on other fronts will often unite to preserve it.
Only inflicting consequences on a massive scale will stop it

A major reason, as plenty of us anarchists have pointed out for some time, why people losing faith in institutions, nationalist myths and politicians is a very good thing.
"There's no one coming to save us" is often a spur for solidarity and action. It mobilizes. Deference demobilizes.

Conservatives had this whole bit about how their enemies have "low time preference" because of dyed hair somehow, but nothing characterizes fascists more than the impulsive need for revenge at any cost. The inability to empathize with your future self parallels an inability to empathize with others.

What are the five Pertwee stories you absolutely need in your life? No particular order. Go!
Inferno
The Daemons
Planet of the Daleks
Invasion of the Dinosaurs
Death to the Daleks
It does leave Season 8 and Season 11 unrepresented.. but ehz I shan't overthink it, this era is my favourite of Doctor Who and it'd probably be different picks on any given day.
Great pics! All of these could've been contenders for my 5
The Ambassadors of Death
Day of the Daleks
The Curse of Peladon
Frontier in Space
The Green Death
picking a fifth one was hard. I wanted at least one with Sarah, but it's probably my least fav Pertwee season; then I remembered I ought to have Green Death for Jo's departure, so I went with that!
These stories really break my heart

"Arendt did not wonder why officials lie. Instead, she worried about what happens to a public when political life trains citizens to stop insisting on a shared, factual world."
The thing about this political moment is that my most and least Theory Brain friends are saying Exactly the same thing: Push Now. Hit them while they're down and keep hitting them and keep hitting them until we fucking Win. Accept nothing less than total victory.
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
